Alas, I've now got wonderful new recipes that I have cut and pasted onto my laptop. But DW is a creature of habit, and has a very narrow list of foods she will eat. Tacos and such must be made the way her mother made them, and she made them. This includes a pretty tasty shredded beef filling complete with cumin, salt, and cilantro, and the famous Hennessey Taco, created by her mother. It's as Americanized as a taco can get. But it is very tasty, and not in any way authentic, except for the fresh corn tortilla, softened in beef fat.
We ahd Hennessey tacos. Here's how you make this rediculous, but oh so tasty taco;
Brown 1 lb. ground beef, seasoned only with salt. Drain and set a side. make fresh guacamole by crushing the meat of 2 ripe Haas avacados, then mix in a splash of lime juice, two tbs. finely diced ripe tomato, a dash or two of Tabasco Sauce, and 1 tbs. minced cilantro. Stir until all is combined.
Dice up 1 who, ripe tomato, 1/2 cup sweet onion, 1 peeled cucumber. Place shredded lettuce into a bowl.
Cut a 1/8 inch thick slice of Velveeta into four strips. Heat enough oil to cover a single tortilla. Place a strip of cheese and enough ground beef onto the middle of a tortilla, which the cheese slightly off center, place the tortilla in the hot oil for about 30 sends, lift the tortilla from the oil and let drain, taking care not to spill the filling. Place on a paper towel and fold in half. Cook the next tortilla the same way. Continue until all of your tacos are cooked. Spread them out to all who are going to eat them, and let everyone add their own fillings and condiments to their tacos. Ketchup must be used with this taco to give it full flavor.
Now how odd does that sound?
But trust me, it is wonderful tasting, but not what I wanted for dinner. Oh well. I'll get to make the other recipes on days other than Cinco De Mayo.
