Pica-Pico Tacos
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
- 1/2 medium white onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large russet potato peeled and finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/4 tsp granulated onion
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp chile powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup sliced green olives optional
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Add the onion, garlic, potatoes and ground beef to a preheated skillet set over medium-high heat. Season with the garlic, onion, cumin, chile powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat and incorporate all the seasonings. Stir occasionally.
- Once the meat has started to caramelize and the veggies are lightly browned and softened, add the water. Place a lid on the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer until all the liquid has gone and the potatoes are fork tender. If the potatoes are not tender yet, add an additional ¼ c. of water and repeat the process.
- Toss in the peas and olives, if using. Stir.
- Taste for seasoning and add as necessary or desired.
- Replace the lid but turn the heat off. Let sit on the cooling burner for 5 min. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
