Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Blend

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, brisket, and short rib. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika to the meat mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making sure they are slightly larger than your buns.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare Corn Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas until they are crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Texican

    On each crispy tortilla, place a cooked patty, followed by lettuce, onion, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of crema and Tapatio hot sauce. Serve immediately.
