Ingredients diff
- 1 lb ground beef (85/15)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/3 cup water
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Kosher salt, to taste
Steps diff
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high and brown the beef, breaking it into small crumbles, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add onion and garlic and cook until softened and sweet, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water and simmer until the meat is glossy and lightly saucy.
- Warm tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over flame until pliable with a little char.
- Fill tortillas while everything is hot and finish with your toppings of choice.
Technique notes diff
- Spice blooming in rendered fat | Oil-soluble aroma molecules dissolve in fat and become more pronounced. | It gives the filling a fuller, restaurant-style flavor.
- Heat staging and carryover control | Managing burner intensity and resting windows prevents overshoot from residual heat after active cooking. | This sequence relies on brief finishing steps where controlled carryover keeps texture and flavor balanced.
