So, I've been following food carts of late. Specifically I've been eating at just about every hispanic/latin-american taco truck I see. I've taken my time observing what goes into the food they serve and I've been trying to apply it to the "Mexican" food I make.
Today I faced a sort of conundrum. One I'm sure most people have run into. I was hungry, I didn't have much in the house, and I was tired - and I didn't want to put too much effort into anything. So, I said to myself: what better for quick food than food cart food?
So, here's what I made:
Really Quick Taco Recipe:
Ingredients:
Corn Tortillas
Ground Beef
Chili Powder
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
Onion (Small Dice or Brunoise)
Cilantro (You can rough chop it, I chose to go with a Chiffonade)
Lemon, cut into wedges.
Hot Sauce.
Queso de Papa (Shredded)
Olive Oil.
I cooked this entire meal on a griddle.
(Just so you know)
Step I: Heat up the pan with a little bit of olive oil.
Step II: Sweat the onions.
Step III: Add the Cumin, Chili Pepper, and Pepper.
Step IV: Add the Ground Beef.
Step V: Turn with wooden spoon or spatula, cook to well done.
Step VI: Remove the beef mixture.
Step VII: Quickly heat up the corn tortillas on the griddle. (both sides)
Step VIII: Lay the tortillas out, top with a bit of the ground beef, then add the onion, cilantro, hot sauce, lemon juice, and cheese.
Step IX: CONSUME.
So... there you go, that's what I did today.
