Let’s Talk All Things Tacos

Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish which consists of varying size corn or wheat tortillas (traditionally small hand-sized), and topped or stuffed with all sorts of deliciousness. They are very versatile, and can be made in a variety of ways, from using beef, pork, chicken, seafood, tofu, walnut meat, as your “meat”. To all the added toppings and fixings like rice, beans, lettuce, onions, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, fresh pico de gallo, and more… the options are truly endless! It’s such a tasty feast, and if you haven’t had at least one in your lifetime you’re certainly missing out!

Instructions 

• Start by cooking your rice according to package instructions. Once finished, remove from heat allow to cool (10-15mins). Stir in lime juice and cilantro, and set aside.
• Over medium high heat in a large skillet, or dutch oven, heat olive oil. Add garlic and onion, and cook until fragrant and transparent. Add ground beef and cook until beef has browned, ensuring to break down meat into a crumble, stirring occasionally and draining excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning, sriracha or cayenne/chili powder (optional) until well combined, remove from heat and set aside.
• Make tortilla bowls – see notes section below.
• Prepare other taco toppings: slice avocado, half tomatoes, rinse and drain corn (I made my own kernels, with butter, salt, pepper, and parsley) and black beans, slice lettuce, shred cheese etc.
• Assemble bowl. Rice as your base, and add toppings as desired.
• Enjoy!

Notes

I used brown jasmine rice for this recipe, any rice will do. The ingredient measurements are simple a guideline, you can add, omit, reduce, increase as much as you like! To make your tortilla taco bowls, you can use a few different methods and bake in oven until shape formed and lightly toasted: Tortilla Shell Molds Small 8-inch Cast Iron Skillet Muffin Tins for Mini/Appetizer Sized Taco Bowls Oven-Proof Canning Jars/Bowl – flip jars over, and form tortilla or keep bowls upright and place inside
