Central American Tacos image

Wonderful authentic tacos I first tasted in Guatemala at a taco stand. May be a little different to the American taste, but the green sauce is the crowning touch. The flavors are the subtle flavors of Central America.

Time 50m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large potatoes, cubed
1 pound lean ground beef
½ onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
4 tomatillos, husked and quartered
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 jalapeno chile pepper, diced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
3 avocados, halved with pits removed
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the ground beef into a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for a few minutes, then stir in the onion. Cook until meat is no longer pink, and the onion is tender. Drain excess grease, and gently stir in the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the tomatillos, garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro into a blender. Squeeze avocados out of their skins into the blender. Process until smooth.
  • Heat tortillas in a skillet until warm and flexible. Spoon on some of the meat mixture, and top with the sauce. Roll up, and enjoy.

I'm not a big fan of tacos, but these were really good. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the avocado crema was the perfect topping.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The tacos were still really good, but I think they would have been even better with the cilantro.
