Beef Tacos
Our Easy Beef Tacos recipe with a flavourful beef mince filling is a great introduction to making tacos at home and a brilliant way to use that packet of mince in your shop. Even after a long day at work, these Easy Beef Tacos can come to the rescue as they only take 30 minutes to whip up with most of that time spent simmering to bring the flavours together and the mince tender.
What makes tacos such a great meal for feeding a family or a crowd is that it’s more of an assembly job, everyone gets to be involved and build their tacos just as they would like.
We use minced beef to make a picadillo-style quick dish for this easy beef taco recipe. This is done by frying onion, red peppers and potatoes with the meat.
It’s then seasoned with Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, tamari sauce and oregano. Let it fry for a bit, then add a splash of beer and stock. Simmer it until your potatoes are cooked through, and thatās it! Dinner is warm and ready in no time. All that’s left to do then is to warm up some Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps or our Fajita Wraps to serve on the side and prepare some quick garnishes such as shredded raw cabbage, avocado slices, and a bit of our Gran Luchito Tomatillo Salsa and drizzle our Pineapple Chipotle Sauce on top.Ā
Whether feeding a family of two or bigger families, this easy beef tacos recipe will make everyone happy. We hope it becomes a staple in your repertoire. Weāll leave you to try these beef tacos and let us know what you think in the comments.
