Pan Fried Beef Tacos Food

FRIED BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• For the fried taco shells: Add about 1/2 inch oil to a medium high-sided pot. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, roll each biscuit into a 6-inch circle. Working in batches, fry the biscuits until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle with salt.
• For the filling: Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the taco seasoning in a small bowl: chili, garlic, and onion powders, Mexican oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add to the beef, along with the beer. Continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Assembly: Place a fried biscuit on a plate. Top with a scoop of filling followed by the cheese, lettuce, olives, tomatoes and scallions. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a dash of hot sauce. Repeat to make 5 more tacos.

PAN FRIED BEEF TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. (This is just to keep your tacos warm while you're making them, or if you need to make them ahead of time you can keep them on warm for up to 30 minutes) Start by heating up a large skillet with the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown while breaking up with a spoon until completely cooked through. Next add in the diced tomatoes, green chilies, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Stir to combine the filling and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet and spray with cooking spray. Place one tortilla in the skillet and top with 3/4 cup of the beef filling and a half a cup of cheese. Let cook open for 1 minute, then fold over and press down on the taco with a spatula so it seals closed. Cook for another 2 minutes then flip to the other side for another 2 minutes. Just get them nice and browned on both sides, it only takes about 5 minutes total for each taco. Transfer to the oven to keep warm and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

CRISPY BEEFY PAN-FRIED TACOS

Steps:

• Season beef. Pat enough of the seasoned meat on each tortilla to cover 1/2 of the corn tortilla.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium-high temperature. Place (unfolded) tortilla with meat in the hot oil, one at a time.
• As soon as one tortilla softens in the oil, gently fold to cover the raw meat, and then add another. Repeat this method (as many as pan size allows). Watch for crispness and turn over GENTLY to complete cooking. (CAREFUL, OIL WILL BE HOT!!)
• Drain on paper towels and serve with guacamole salad/salsa.

• Cook the ground beef in a skillet until brown and crumbly, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until softened. Stir in the herbs and spices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the tomato paste and stir well. Stir in the water as needed for consistency. Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes.
• Place a little of the beef mixture on each corn tortilla and roll up. Secure with a wooden toothpick and fry quickly in a little oil until golden. For the flour tortillas, place beef mixture on half of the tortilla and fold over. Fry on each side until browned.
• Serve with sour cream and salsa.

• Add the beef, breaking up with a spoon into crumbles until completely cooked through. Drain the grease and return to the skillet.
• Next add the diced tomatoes, green chiles, salt, cumin and garlic powder. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm the filling through, then transfer to a bowl.
• Carefully wipe out the skillet with paper towels and spray with cooking spray.
• Place a tortilla in the skillet and top one half of the tortilla with about 3/4 cup of the filling and 1/2 cup of cheese.
• Fold the tortilla over to cover the meat half (like an omelette), press down with a spatula or a plate and cook for 2 minutes until the bottom is crispy.

BIRRIA TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the dried peppers. Dry toast them in the hot pan 1-2 minutes per side, until the skins darken.
• Remove from heat and add the toasted peppers to a large bowl. Cover with hot water and steep 20 minutes, or until softened.
• While the peppers are rehydrating, heat the olive oil in the same pan to medium heat.
• Add the onion and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
• Add the garlic and cook another 1 minute, stirring.
• Add the cooked onion, tomatoes and garlic to a food processor.
• Remove the softened chilies and add to the food processor, but reserve the soaking liquid.
• Add the seasonings to the food processor along with the vinegar and 1 cup beef stock. Process until smooth. It should be fairly thick, but you can thin if needed with the reserved soaking liquid. Strain if desired to remove any unprocessed bits of skin.
• Cut the beef into large chunks and add to a large bowl.
• Pour the birria sauce over them and rub it into the meat. Cover and marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 2 hours minimum. Overnight is better.
• When you're ready to cook, add the meat with all of the marinade, the chopped roasted tomatoes and remaining 3 cups beef broth to a large pot. Cover and cook at medium heat for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork tender and easy to shred. It should be fairly saucy.
• Shred the meat with forks to your preference. Reserve most of the birria sauce (consome).
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet. Dip the tortillas into the birria sauce (consome) to coat them evenly, then set them into the hot pan.
• Top with shredded birria meat. Fold the moistened shell over and fry 2-3 minutes until crisp, then flip over and fry the other side until crisp.
• Cool slightly and serve with your preferred toppings, with reserved liquid consome from the pot as a side soup/broth.

PAN-FRIED TACOS

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.
• Add the tomato sauce, water, minced onions, chili powder and taco sauce, if using. Bring to a boil and let simmer gently on the stove with the lid off to let the flavors blend.
• Meanwhile, while the meat mixture is simmering, chop the tomatoes, lettuce and grate the cheese. Place each in a separate bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
• Next, assemble the ingredients for homemade guacamole and put it together.
• Heat the oil in the electric frying pan at 350 degrees, covered. Return to the meat mix on the stove and stir in the flour. The mixture should gradually thicken. If you want to have a thicker meat mix, add a bit more flour.
• When mixture has thickened, turn off the heat. Turn the oven on to 200 degrees for keeping cooked tacos warm.
• Separate 12 corn tortillas, or however many you need to use. Lay a corn tortilla flat in the hot oil, then place about 3 tablespoons of meat mixture into the center of the tortilla. Using a spatula, fold the tortilla in half and push it to one corner of the electric skillet. Repeat this process until you have four tortillas folded, one for each corner.
• By this time, it will be time to flip the first taco you filled. Carefully, using a spatula, roll the taco over onto its other side. Repeat the process, going in order from first taco to last. By the time you flip the last one, it will be time to take the first taco out of the skillet.
• Place the cooked tacos on a couple of layers of paper towels in a baking pan. When you have removed the tacos from the skillet and placed them in the baking pan, put the pan in the oven to keep the cooked pan-fried tacos warm. Start cooking the next batch of tacos. Repeat the cooking process until you have the number of tacos you need.
