Authentic TexMex Beef Tacosranks as one of our all-time favorite dishes in the world.
I grew up in Texas and eating TexMex was literally a way of life! I simply could not get enough tacos and it became one of the first dishes I learned to make many years ago, and I'm pretty sure these will rival any platter of TexMex Tacos you'll find at any good TexMex restaurant.
That's a bold statement, but make these tacos, and I'm pretty sure you'll agree!
HOW TO MAKE TEXMEX BEEF TACOS
Watch us show you how easy it is to make these incredible tacos!!
THE PERFECT TACO SHELL
The Loon is certain (and I don't disagree) that what sets these amazing tacos apart from your average everyday taco is the incredible meat filling, and the perfectly crispy taco shells. The shells make all the difference in giving you that authentic TexMex restaurant taste. Just get a nice sturdy pot (I use my Dutch oven), or use a deep fryer, a get your oil to a nice 350°F, then fry the corn tortillas for about 90 seconds. Using a Taco Press makes this super simple!
Just look at those shells waiting to be filled and eaten!!
Is there anything much more enjoyable than sinking your teeth into a really delicious and completely authentic TexMex Taco? Well, if there is, I can't think of it at the moment!
WE LOVE TEXMEX TACOS!!
You can make the meat and the shells a day in advance and then re-heat before serving. All the fixins can easily be made ahead of time, too!
