Description
A gourmet twist on family taco night featuring ground beef infused with a homemade garlic herb butter and tortillas toasted in aromatic fats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced onions, sour cream
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it into small pieces.
- Drain the excess fat from the skillet, leaving about one tablespoon of grease in the pan.
- Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 tablespoons of the prepared garlic herb butter until completely melted and the meat is glossy.
- Wipe out the skillet or use a second pan. Melt the remaining herb butter over medium heat.
- Toast each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until warm and lightly golden.
- Spoon the buttery beef into the tortillas and serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
