Beef Tacos

Chances are if you know me you have had these tacos. I always get asked for the recipe. It's quite simple and we eat these at my house about once a week. Ha ha they are the perfect greasy food :)

All you need is:

1lb of ground beef
1 24 oz jar of Herdez Med or Hot Salsa (I have used others but nothing comes out good like this brand)
Tortillas
Mexican Blend Cheese
Olive oil - approximately 1 cup
Paper towels

Taco Sauce -
1 can of tomato sauce
Salt
Pepper
Ground Oregano


Garnishments such as lettuce, tomato, avacado, onion, etc.

  • Brown ground beef
  • While beef is browning in a small sauce pan combine tomato sauce, about 1/2 cup or so of salsa (I just pour until it's a little underneath the neck of the bottle) salt, pepper and ground oregano. I always eyeball the spices so just whatever tastes good to you. Let this heat through and simmer while you are making the rest
  • In another pan heat olive oil over med heat
  • Once beef is cooked through add the rest of the salsa from the jar and stir. Heat thru.
  • Warm a tortilla up in the olive oil flip to heat both sides. Just enough to make it soft.
  • Remove from oil and place upon paper towel.
  • Spoon some of the beef mixture on to the tortilla add some of the shredded cheese on top, fold tortilla in half and wrap in paper towel.
  • Top with garnishments of your choice and taco sauce.
And yes I have taken step by step pictures for all of your enjoyment :)
Just FYI I do not drain my beef after cooking it :)
