Beef Tacos With Pico De Gallo Recipes

Steps:

• Cook meat with taco seasoning mix as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, onions and cilantro.
• Spoon meat mixture into taco shells; top with cheese and tomato mixture.

Steps:

• Combine masa harina, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Add 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees), and quickly knead together by hand to form a smooth dough.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Pinch off a 1 1/2-inch ball of dough, and roll it into a 4-inch disc.
• Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, to medium high. Cook discs, 1 or 2 at a time, until just puffed and slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes; turn and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from heat; fold in half to create a shell. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beef; cook, stirring, until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and oregano, and season to taste with pepper and remaining teaspoon salt. Simmer until tomatoes break down and mixture is saucy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fill each shell with about 1 tablespoon shredded cabbage and 1 tablespoon beef. Spoon a small amount of Pico de Gallo over beef, or serve on the side.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, and toss well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately, or keep refrigerated, for up to 2 days, until serving.

Steps:

• For the tortillas: Brush a hot griddle with oil and heat the tortillas on each side to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep hot until it's time to eat.
• For the fish: In a bowl, combine the chile powder, garlic salt, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Toss the mixture with the fish in a shallow container and marinate for 15 minutes.
• For the chipotle sauce: In the meantime, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro, honey, chipotles, lime juice and salt in a food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. Transfer the sauce to a container (I like to store it in a squeeze bottle) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Put the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and flake with a fork.
• To build each taco, spoon some fish onto 2 stacked tortillas (see Cook's Note). Top with some chipotle sauce, cabbage, cilantro and Pico de Gallo.
• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Set up your grill and heat up your coals.
• When coals are almost ready, toss mushrooms caps in oil and garlic. Set stand for a few minutes. Place mushroom slices onto grill. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the Pico de Gallo. Season with salt and let stand for a few minutes.
• Squeeze lime over the mushroom slices and then sprinkle with some salt. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes and squeeze more lime and salt over slices.
• Heat tortillas on open section of grill while mushrooms finish up, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove tortillas from the grill. To assemble, place a few slices of the mushrooms on a tortilla, top with Pico de Gallo and sliced radishes, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the mojo - with a mortar and pestle, mash together the garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, salt, and pepper to make a paste.
• Put it in a glass jar.
• Add the lime and orange juices, the vinegar, and the oil and shake it up to combine.
• Lay the flank steak in a large baking dish and pour the mojo over it.
• Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 8 hours, so the flavors can sink into the meat. (Don't marinate the steak for more than 8 hours or the fibers will break down too much and the meat will get mushy.).
• Preheat an outdoor grill or a ridged grill pan over a medium-high flame (you can also use your broiler).
• Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square.
• Blot a small amount of oil on the towels, then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates to make a nonstick grilling surface. Pull the steak out of the mojo marinade and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill (or broil) the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until medium-rare.
• Remove to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
• Slice thin on an angle, across the grain.
• While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable.
• To serve, put two of the warm tortillas on your work surface.
• Lay about an eighth of the beef down the center of each, and sprinkle with lettuce, onion, and cheese.
• Top with a spoonful of pico de gallo and garnish with lime wedges.
• To make the pico de gallo - Put all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir it all together. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to marry.

Steps:

• Rub goat leg with ⅓ cup Diamond Crystal or 3 Tbsp. Morton kosher salt, working into flesh and fat. Wrap tightly in parchment or wax paper and chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Evenly scatter onion, garlic, guajillo chiles, ancho chile, chiles de árbol, ginger, cloves, tomatoes, peppercorns, oregano, and cumin across a large roasting pan and place a roasting rack on top. Unwrap goat leg and set on rack. Pour 4 cups water into pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake until meat is pulling away from the bone and shreds easily with a fork, 4½-5 hours.
• Let leg sit (still covered) until cool enough to handle (about 1 hour). Shred meat into small pieces and place in a large bowl; discard bones. Remove ginger from pan; discard. Working in batches if needed, purée liquid and aromatics left in pan in a blender until smooth. Pour half of consomé over meat and mix to coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Cover and set aside. Pour remaining consomé into a medium bowl and set aside for serving.
• Do Ahead: Meat can be prepared 3 days ahead. Chill meat and consomé.
• Toss cucumbers, onion, lime juice, basil, and salt in a medium bowl. Add 1-4 chiles, depending on their heat and how spicy you like things, and let sit 10 minutes.
• Top warm tortillas with meat, then salsa. Serve with consomé for dipping.
