Crispy Beef Tacos with Honey Chipotle Sauce
Directions
- 1Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- 2Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 3–4 mins.
- 3Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 secs.
- 4Add the ground beef and break it up. Cook until mostly browned.
- 5Add the taco seasoning and tomato paste, mix well, and sauté for 2–3 mins.
- 6Pour in the beef stock and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates and the beef is saucy & fully cooked.
- 7In a blender or food processor, add all of the sauce ingredients: sour cream, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, honey, garlic cloves, black pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and juice of 1/2 lime. Blend until smooth.
- 8Combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the pico de gallo.
- 9Lay a tortilla flat. Add a thin layer of mozzarella, 2–3 tbsp of the beef filling, then another sprinkle of cheese. Fold it over and repeat.
- 10Heat a splash of avocado oil over medium-low heat. Add the folded tacos and cook until golden and crispy on both sides, adding more oil as needed. Work in batches.
- 11Plate them up, open the tacos, fill with pico de gallo and honey chipotle sauce.
