this is one of my favorite offseason meals one of my favorite meals in general
I just love Mexican food bowls tacos burritos etc
so I'm gonna be making some tacos not Taco Tuesday but it's always taco
Tuesday in my eyes so this is really the main thing that makes it
taste that good it's literally just a little packet of taco seasoning smart
Fiesta they call it so I literally just cook up a pound of ground beef chop it up
into small bits once that's fully cooked you dump this whole pack in there so I
always get the 94/6 extra lean ground beef just because no sense in having
that crazy of amount of fat in it even though I do eat beef on
purpose for the fats in it if you want even less meat sometimes I do this right
now there's no point it tastes better with a
little more fat in it but if you want a little less fat in it you literally take
it out of there you put it in a strainer and then pour some hot water on it and
it kind of just kind of strips a lot of the fat off it when it's hot comes off
and you put it back in the pan fry it up a little bit so it's not like watery and
just to kind of a way to get a little extra fat off the meat yeah so this meal
is inspired by family dinners my parents were always really big on that multiple
times throughout the night it was like a rule you sat down at the table whole
family together and ate a meal together and I think our most popular
dishes were probably like lasagna meatloaf roast beef I wasn't a big fan
of roast beef all the time and then we also had tacos which is like almost
always my favorite so just kind of carried on into my adulthood and I still
make it on my own we even actually had a taco night with the family the other night which
is pretty cool my parents live a little further away but they drove into town
and my sister Melissa got a new house so we kind of all got together there and had
a taco night there and it was a lot of fun kind of bring back old memories
so old things never die that you do with your family
can't even open the bag all this muscle for no good
so once the meats cooked literally just crack open the pack and sprinkle the
whole thing on top and then you add in like like I said it's about half a cup
maybe a little bit more I just kind of guess and you throw it in there
and you just let that cook until the water completely evaporates and all the
spices are kind of soaked in and stuck to the meat personally I like it simple
so my favorite is just chopped up lettuce some nice salsa and put that in
the tortilla and you're good to go
the average amount of meat I eat pretty much every meal is like 190 200 grams of
meat per meal so tacos no numbers are counted I just
add that much meat onto a plate weigh it out and then hopefully I can make as
many tacos as possible slightly lacking ingredients today I must admit so these
are gonna be some plain tacos but luckily the best part of them is the
spice so we got that done I also like to heat these up a little bit so I just
kind of guess I'm gonna eat about one two three four or five just throw these
on a little thing put it in the microwave for maybe 20 seconds it just
kind of softens up a little bit makes it warm just like you're in a restaurant
all right guys so this is the Mexican fiesta meal making some tacos very
simple easy to make the only thing that's different on it really is a taco
sauce taco spice I added to it other than that it's 200 grams of ground beef
a little bit of lettuce for a little crunch and then I got four tortillas
here hopefully we can fill them all up make enough to eat
so it's as simple as picking how much meat you want per tortilla you should
kind of toss it on there simply next step I like to toss in some salsa I have
a thing for resturante restaurant salsa it just tastes better whenever
it's said that on the labels I mean don't ask why just a little bit better
then you add a little bit of lettuce on top nice little crunch little texture to
your taco with folding is the hard part so you want to take one side fold it
over and then you fold the bottom which is your catcher make sure nothing falls
out and you fold the other side over like this pinch it with some fingers on
the bottom so nothing leaks and then you're good to go ready to dive in
