Caramelized Onions

Pico de Gallo

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer the cooked beef, caramelized onions, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Fold the tortillas and serve immediately.
