Mendoza Tacos!

What can I say about these tacos? They are the most amazing tacos EVER! My good, fun, funny friend, Becky, is the one who taught me to make these tacos, and I'm so glad she did. They do take a bit of work, but trust me..it's worth it! I think in one week I made these tacos..THREE TIMES. Oh, it didn't stop there. I'm usually a one taco kind of gal..I ate FOUR of these babies in one sitting and probably could have gone back for more if I could have ignored the glutton in me.



Meat Filling:
2 lbs. of ground beef.
1 onion, chopped fine.
1-2 tsp. of garlic.
1-2 Tbsp. of cumin (you can adjust this to your tastes..the more you add the better it is)
2 tsp. of salt.
Pepper to taste.

3-4 cups Mozarella cheese, shredded.

Here is the time consuming part. You fry your own shells. Just grab a package of those white corn tortialls from the market and fry them in oil. While they are cooking, use two forks to fold into the shape of a regular taco shell.

Put in your meat filling and then top with cheese. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes. This helps crispy up the shells and melts the cheese.

Recommended toppings:
A bit of salt
Couple squirts of lemon (I will NEVER eat a taco without lemon again)
Sour cream
Avacado
Cilatro
Green leaf lettuce
Taco sauce

Amazing!
