This recipe features:
Primo Tacos
Primo Tacos, a Mexican-Californian fusion dish with a little kick of spiciness and savory flavors. These tacos serve 4 people and feature ground beef, Persian Olive Oil, and Chipotle Olive Oil.
Ingredients
For the Ground Beef Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp Persian Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Chipotle Olive Oil
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembling the Tacos:
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo
- Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Persian Olive Oil and Chipotle Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Cook the beef until it's browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the beef with ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- While the beef is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave them for about 20 seconds until they are pliable.
- To assemble each taco, spoon a portion of the seasoned ground beef onto the center of a tortilla. Top it with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of pico de gallo.
- If you like it spicier, you can drizzle a bit of extra Chipotle Olive Oil on top of the fillings.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling, and your Primo Tacos are ready to serve!
Special Tips and Variations:
- For extra heat, you can add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the ground beef mixture.
- Customize your toppings to your liking; you can add sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a different protein, you can substitute ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based crumbles for the ground beef.
