Restaurant Style Tacos


You will need:

  • 1 lb ground chuck
  • 1/2 chopped onion
  • small peeled potatoe quartered
  • chopped garlic clove
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantra
  • 2 tsp. white vinegar
  • 1 pkg. McCormick Taco Seasoning mix (see what package looks like below)
  • enough water to cover the meat in a saucepan
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Put the ingredients in a medium saucepan and cover with water, bring to a boil.....then reduce heat and cover....cook for about 30 minutes or longer for more flavor.....

Other ingredients you will need:

  • Taco shells
  • Monterrey jack cheese grated
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sour cream
  • Homemade Salsa


This is what the meat ingredients will look like as it cooks....
(McCormick's Taco Seasoning Mix)

When the meat is done, spoon it into a bowl and salt and pepper it to taste, then stuff the tacos shells that have been heated according to package instructions.






Top with your favorite toppings..... I like to use Monterrey Jack Cheese, Shredded Lettuce, Diced Tomatoes, Sour Cream....and sometimes I add some of my homemade salsa too. Serve with Refried Beans topped with cheese, serve tortilla chips and salsa as an appetizer or to eat with the taco meal.
These tacos are so delicious.....the meat is very moist....I had always browned my meat in a skillet before, but I decided to try boiling it instead, and what a delicious difference it makes.
Enjoy~
