Here are some tips for making Mexican tacos:

For a more authentic flavor, use ground beef that is 80% lean or leaner.

If you don’t have chili powder, you can substitute a combination of ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

To make your own taco seasoning, combine 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

For a vegetarian option, use black beans or lentils instead of ground beef.

To make your own tortillas, combine 1 cup of masa harina flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of warm water. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Roll out the dough into thin circles and cook in a hot pan until they are lightly browned.

Get creative with your toppings! There are endless possibilities, so have fun and experiment. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pickled onions.
