Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef grass fed if you can swing it
- ½ lb white or russet potatoes peeled & diced
- salt & pepper
- tortillas and toppings of choice including lettuce cheese and salsa
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the diced potatoes and stir in a pinch of salt.
- Microwave for 6-8 minutes, gently giving the potatoes 1-2 stirs halfway between cooking (if you stir them too vigorously, you will release their starches and the potatoes will start sticking together as they cook)
- Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and add a small swig of cooking oil.
- Add in the potatoes and give a quick stir in the oil.
- Add in the ground beef, making sure to break apart meat into smaller chunks as you cook it all the way through.
- Add in salt & pepper to taste and serve inside warmed taco shells or on top of a salad.
- Add toppings of choice.
Notes
To make homemade taco shells, heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat, and add the tortilla flat side down. Allow to cook and absorb the oil for about 30 seconds, then flip over and repeat the process. Then gently fold the tortilla in half, and cook for about 1 minute, till the shell starts to brown just a bit and crisp up. Flip over and repeat.
