oh Yum! This is one of our favorite dishes. It’s so good and so easy and you will love it. There’s a reason that Mexican food is so popular, the flavors are terrific and the ingredients are simple and straight forward.
- olive oil
- 2 onions, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
- 2 bell peppers (I used 1 yellow, 1 orange) seeded and chopped
- 2 lbs. ground beef (we used sirloin)
- spices: chile powder, paprika, cayenne pepper – to taste – I used a big pinch of each, we like it a bit spicy, if you like it milder, use less cayenne, or you could omit it entirely.
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- about 26 oz. chopped tomatoes – I like Pomi
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- salsa
- sour cream
- cheese – I’d suggest your favorite shredded cheddar cheese, but I forgot to buy it, so I just chopped up some slices of colby jack that I had in the fridge and it was great
- 2 avocados, sliced
Heat a large pan (I used the dutch oven) over med/high heat. When the pan is hot, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and when it starts to ribbon, add the onion, garlic and bell pepper. Saute until they’re softened and the onions are glossy.
Add the spices and tomato paste and stir.
This smells so good!
Add the beef and brown completely.
If you have a lot of fat, skim it and discard, a little bit of juice should remain (fat=flavor). Add the chopped tomatoes and stir to combine.
In each bowl, put a handful of lettuce, a nice big scoop of the meat, some cheese, salsa, sour cream and slices of avocado.
Perfect! Delicious, satisfying, stick to your ribs, comfort food.
