Taco Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, and coriander; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
• Add beef; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt.

Steps:

• Mix beef and seasonings in a frying pan.
• Cover and cook at a low simmer for 12 minutes, stirring often.
• Mix tomato juice, Accent and flour, and add to meat mixture.
• Cook for 10 minutes more, then remove from heat.
• Carefully spoon meat mixture unto shells, top with lettuce, tomatoes, taco sauce, and cheese.

Steps:

• Coat a large skillet with spray oil.
• Add ground beef to skillet along with garlic.
• Cook over medium heat until browned - about 10 minutes.
• Add dried onion, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, cinnamon and red pepper and stir well.
• Add tomato paste and beef broth.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmering until the liquid is reduced - about 15-20 minutes.
• Serve with your favorite taco toppings.

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and pour in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and onions and cook until soft and nicely caramelized, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• In the meantime, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and toss to coat. Heat another large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the chicken until it is lightly browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Once the onion mixture is caramelized and softened, add the serranos, paprikas, cumin, and oregano. When the chicken is done, transfer it to the pan with the onions. Pour in the broth or water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and delicious, approximately 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To serve the tacos: Put the toppings and chicken filling in bowls and allow guests to build their own tacos.

Steps:

• Wring out and crumble the thawed tofu.
• Heat the oil in a skillet, and brown the crumbled tofu.

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium heat until hot. Add salsa; saute for 3 minutes.
• Add chicken thighs, brown sugar, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, thyme, black pepper, and cayenne. Add enough water to mostly cover the chicken; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender and juices run clear, about 45 minutes. Add more water if the bottom of the pot starts to dry out.
• Remove chicken from the pot and shred with 2 forks. Return to the pot and mix with sauce to coat.

Steps:

• In a large skillet (with available lid), brown the meats with the next 10 ingredients.
• Make sure the meat is browned really well.
• Add the Rotel tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and meat becomes very tender.
• I put a lid half on for awhile and then take it off towards the end to help reduce the remaining liquid.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro.
• Serve in crispy taco shells, or warmed flour tortillas.
• We top our tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, chopped black olives, sliced pickled jalepenos, salsa, and cheddar cheese.
• This is a pretty basic recipe and if I have any left over, I'll dump a cup of cooked rice in and make untraditional stuffed cabbage rolls or even stuffed poblano peppers.
• It's a jumping off point so you can play around with it and the spices to tailor it to your preference.
