Our kids begged for this every Friday when they were growing up. Now they ask for it everytime they come over. One of the very few things hubby knows how to cook :lol:

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons mild chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
12 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
taco sauce
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil on medium-hi. (Choose the pan for frying the shells carefully. It should be just a little bigger than the taco shells in diameter, and have straight sides so the minimum amount of oil can be used. It's easier to handle the shells if the pan is fairly shallow - no more than 3 inches deep.).
  • In a separate pan, brown onion with meat and drain grease. Add tomato paste and spices.
  • Continue to simmer meat while frying shells. Fry each tortilla quickly, less than a minute each, folding in the middle while frying. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil if needed. Shells should still be fairly soft.
  • Fill taco shells with meat and serve. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and taco sauce should be served with the tacos so that everyone can fix their own.

NAPA DAVE'S SKIRT STEAK TACOS

We had accidentally purchased strip steaks instead of flank steak- so after searching out recipes, we developed this tasty adaptation. Be sure to cut the cooked steak into very thin slices as this meat can be chewy- but sooooo delicious! (Preparation time includes the marinating!)

Time 1h26m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb skirt steak
lime
8 large flour tortillas, warmed on the grill
salsa
finely shredded red cabbage

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, the garlic, lime juice, cumin & salt in a blender until pureed.
  • Cut the skirt steak into approximately 3 inch sections. Place the skirt steak pieces into a medium sized glass baking dish. Pour this mixture over the skirt steak- turn the meat in the mix to be sure that it is coated well on both sides.
  • Cover the meat and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Heat the grill to medium high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and using a clean kitchen towel, blot the excess onion mixture off the meat. Brush oil over both sides of the steak & then lay it over the hottest part of the grill.
  • Grill until browned - about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Cut each piece of the steak into thin strips across the grain.
  • Sprinkle the meat with lime juice.
  • Serve with a plate of tortillas and let each diner fill as they choose!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used for Dave's Tacos. Corn tortillas are traditional, while flour tortillas are softer and more pliable. Choose the type of tortilla that you prefer.
  • Cook the beef properly: The beef should be cooked until it is browned and no longer pink. This will ensure that the beef is safe to eat and has a good flavor.
  • Use fresh toppings: Fresh toppings, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, will add flavor and texture to your tacos. Choose toppings that you enjoy and that complement the beef.
  • Don't overload the tacos: Overloading the tacos will make them difficult to eat and may cause the tortillas to break. Add just enough toppings so that you can still fold the tacos in half.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Dave's Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a taco that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give Dave's Tacos a try.
