~Tacos~

~Tacos~

I learned this taco recipe from my father, it is super tasty and easy to make. You can use any type of meat for this recipe. I chose to use ground turkey breast for my meat, but you can use shrimp, lobster,  chicken, or beef for this recipe. 

(Makes 3 servings)
Here is what you need:

6-10 corn tortillas 
1/2 lb. ground turkey meat
mix cheeses 
1/2 bell pepper
3 individual green onions
1/2 onion
lime
lettuce
tomato
vegetable oil
chile powder
garlic salt
salt 
pepper
cayenne pepper
Optional (Salsa and Guacamole)

Stage 1:
First chop up 1/2 an onion, 2 green onions, and 1/2 a bell pepper
Take a large skillet and add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and heat on a medium temperature for 1 minute. 
Next add the vegetables to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, while continuously stirring. 

Then, add the ground turkey meat to the vegetable mixture. 
Cook for about 3 minutes, then take a mixing spoon and break up the meat into smaller pieces.
Continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes and continuously stir.
Then add a little cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and chile powder to flavor meat. 
Stir and mix seasonings through the meat and cook for another 2 minutes.
Make sure all the meat is cooked before removing it from the stove.


Stage 2:
Next take another skillet and add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and heat on a medium high temperature for 1 1/2 minutes. 
Then sprinkle garlic salt into the oil.
Add one tortilla at a time and cook on the first side for 15 seconds.
Then take tongs and flip the tortilla to the other side and cook for 10 seconds. 
Then take the tongs and fold the tortilla in half, and cook on one side for 5 seconds, and then on the other side for 5 seconds, and remove tortilla promptly from the stove.
Once tortilla is cooked place it on a paper towel to absorb the oil. 
Repat stage 2 until all tortillas are cooked. 


Stage 3:
Next chop up the desired amount of tomatoes, and lime.

Rinse off the desired amount of lettuce. 
Now take one cooked tortilla and add your desired amount of meat.

Then add a generous amount of cheese on top of the meat.
Next put the taco in the microwave for 15 seconds on a power 6 level in order to melt the cheese.
Optional (add salsa and guacamole to the taco).
Then add desired amount of lettuce and tomato to the taco.
Finally squeeze a little bit of lime on top and your taco is ready to enjoy!
