Tips:

  • Select the right liver: Choose a fresh, plump liver from a young animal. Avoid livers that are discolored or have an unpleasant odor.
  • Soak the liver in milk: This helps to remove any impurities and mellows out the flavor.
  • Slice the liver thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the liver well: Use a variety of spices, such as garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano, to give the liver a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the liver over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the liver and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Do not overcook the liver: Overcooked liver is tough and chewy. Cook the liver just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the liver tacos immediately: Liver tacos are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Conclusion:
