Instructions
Creating Tacos Dorados with Ground Beef is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Season the Beef: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
4. Fill the Tacos: Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to create a taco shape and press gently to seal.
5. Fry the Tacos: In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Fry the filled tacos for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Prepare Toppings: While the tacos are frying, prepare your desired toppings—shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream.
7. Serve: Once all the tacos are fried, place them on a serving platter and let everyone customize their tacos with toppings.
