Tacos de Matamoros
Introducing the Bailey Farms Sweet Mini-Peppers. The unique size and taste characteristics of this pepper offer a wide range of recipe options and uses. They are great for parties – just stuff, bake and enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground chuck
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3-4 sweet mini peppers
1/2 medium onion, chopped
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
12 oz queso asadero (white Mexican cheese)
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
1 large tomato, diced
2 cups shredded lettuce
Instructions:
Place the ground chuck in a large skillet, and season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and garlic. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 hour. Add more water as necessary during cook time, and break the meat into small pieces.
Mix the bell pepper and onion into the skillet and continue to simmer 30 minutes. Drain and reserve juices. Skim the fat off the juices (or, if not preparing the tacos right away, place juices in the freezer until fat may be easily removed from the top). Mix 5 tablespoons of the remaining juices back into the skillet with the beef, and cook until heated through.
Serve the beef on the tortillas. Garnish with queso asadero, sour cream, tomato,and lettuce.
Serves 6.
