Taco with beef filling

75 minutes
Taco with beef filling is the embodiment of Mexican culinary passion. This dish was born in the heart of Mexico when locals wrapped meat in corn tortillas for convenient on-the-go eating. The crispy corn shell infused with spice aromas creates the perfect base for juicy ground beef enriched with the heat of jalapeño peppers, garlic, and cumin. The combination of spicy seasonings with the gentle tang of lime and freshness of cilantro offers a balanced flavor with a hint of heat. Fresh salad, juicy tomatoes, onions, and creamy sour cream complete the picture, creating a rich texture. This dish is not just nutritious; it is a true delight for those who appreciate rich flavors and diverse textures. Tacos are best served hot when each element reveals its maximum tastiness.

Prepare the flatbread. Mix corn flour with warm water, adding water gradually. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. Roll small balls from the dough. Flatten them. Fry the resulting discs in plenty of oil for about 10 seconds. Make a dent in the center with a spatula and fry for another 10 seconds. Flip them. Place the resulting crispy flatbread on a paper towel. Do the same with the remaining dough.
