How to make tacos?

The tacos are one of the most famous dishes of the culinary tradition of this country, and we could not stop bringing you the recipe because as you know, we love Mexican food!

After the recipes for  chicken fajitas , enchiladas , nachos macho , quesadillas and  burritos , it was the turn of the tacos ! As in other Mexican recipes, there are many variants since they can be filled with practically anything; We leave you the recipe with beef and chicken, and we propose some more variants.

What are Mexican tacos?
Like fajitas and burritos,  tacos  are a tortilla filled with different combinations of meats and vegetables, sometimes legumes as well. But then what is the difference? Fajitas and burritos are usually prepared with wheat tortillas, while the Mexican taco is prepared with corn tortilla, somewhat smaller than the previous ones.

The tortilla is usually presented simply folded in half with the filling in the middle. Sometimes they are browned in the oven hanging from the rack so that they remain with the crescent shape, as we see in this image:

Ingredients
500 g of minced beef
1 small onion
1 fresh green or serrano chile (you can buy serrano peppers here )
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of ground cumin (you can buy here )

How to make beef tacos
Prepare the filling

Chop the onion, fresh chili, coriander and garlic separately and set aside.
Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry with the oregano, cumin and dried chili, for about two minutes until it begins to release aroma.
Add the garlic and chili and fry for 2 or 3 more minutes.
Add the meat, salt and stir, and cook until the meat is done, about 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat, add the chopped coriander and lime juice and stir.
At your service

Heat the tortillas in the oven for 1 or 2 minutes, they just have to be heated. You can also brown them a little as we have seen before (hanging on the rack) if you want them to be crispy. Fill with the meat and serve, bringing the ingredients to accompany the table separately, so that each one can prepare their taco as they prefer.

We put the chicken, onion, celery, carrot, and bay leaf in a pot; cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is done. We glued and reserved the broth.
Once cold, we shred the chicken with our hands. We booked.
We remove the seeds from the chili (or chili) with the help of a knife.
In a casserole, place half of the tomatoes (whole), half an onion, and two cloves of garlic, halved, and the chili. Cover with the broth and boil until the onion is tender (about 10 minutes).
Blend the sauce and if it is too thick, add a little broth. We booked.
Cut the remaining half onion into julienne strips, chop the 2 remaining garlic cloves and sauté everything in a saucepan with a splash of oil.
When they are golden brown, add the shredded chicken and mix. Sauté for a few minutes, add the sauce and vinegar and let the sauce reduce.

To serve, we repeat the steps of the previous recipe.
