Authentic Tacos - Cowboy Kent Rollins
Servings 8 to 10
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 dried guajillo chile seeded and crushed
- 1 dried cascabel chili seeded and crushed
- 1 dried chili de arbol seeded and crushed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
- 2 lbs. ground chuck beef
- 1 tablespoon Red River Ranch Mesquite or your favorite blend
- 8 to 10 corn tortillas see recipe below
- Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, guacamole for topping
Instructions
- Mix all the dry seasoning ingredients well in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, beginning browning the beef over medium-high heat. When the beef browns about halfway, sprinkle in the Mesquite seasoning and stir. Stir in about 4 to 5 tablespoons of the dry seasoning blend.
- Continue cooking until the meat has completely browned. If there is a lot of excess grease you can drain, but I like to keep some of the grease in there for flavor and moisture instead of adding all water. If the mixture is too dry, stir in 2- 4 tablespoons of chicken broth or water.
- Turn the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon on top of corn tortillas and top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, guacamole, etc. Serve warm.
