Description

Directions

• Roughly chop 1/2 onion
• Saute onion in a dollop of oil over medium-high heat for a few minutes
• Add ground beef and cook until browned
• Drain any fat if you want
• Add 1 clove minced garlic and saute briefly
• Add 1 minced chipotle and 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce
• Add 1 Tablespoon chili powder (I used New Mexican)
• You can optionally add dashes of cumin, oregano and black pepper
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a couple Tablespoons of water.  Let simmer over medium heat. By the time you gather all the taco fixings the meat will be ready.  Take a final taste for seasoning (I added another pinch of salt to this batch).
• For the taco shells, start by warming up corn tortillas in the oven or microwave. Lightly brush with a neutral oil (or cooking spray) and drape over two oven rungs for 10-12 minutes at 375F
• Serve with diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese and guacamole (optional)
