The Best Taco Meat


Ingredients 

  • 1 lb ground beef 70-80% lean*
  • 1 tbsp chili Powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp dried Mexican oregano
  • ¼ tsp granulated garlic
  • ¼ tsp granulated onion
  • ½ cup tomato sauce

Taco Shells

  • 8 white corn tortillas
  • ½ cup oil avocado 

Instructions 

  • Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon while cooking. Cook the ground beef fully, until browned and no longer pink.
  • Drain: Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then return to the stove and reduce the heat to low.
  • Season: Add the 1/2 cup tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Stir together until the meat is coated in the sauce.
  • Simmer: Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Fry Tortillas: Pour 1/2 cup oil in a medium size skillet, heat over medium high heat. Carefully dip a tortilla, if the oil sizzles and bubbles then it's hot enough. Gently lay the tortilla in the oil and fry each side for about 30 seconds, just enough to give some color and add some crispness.
  • Shape Tortillas: Remove the tortilla to a paper towel to absorb oil, and carefully fold the tortilla over to create a taco shape. I do this with my tongs, or two forks, whatever I'm using to lay the tortillas in the oil and remove them.
  • Toppings: Fill the tortillas with the ground beef taco meat and add desired toppings

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
