Homemade Soft Taco Dinner

When I asked my girls, what do you want with ground beef tonight for dinner one chimed, “we haven’t had tacos in a while”…hmmm, “Not since I made our own tortillas, right!?…(eyes waiting for my next phrase)…okay, I’ll make the dough”.

Now, tacos has always been a family-fun dinner night because its fast, healthy and everyone, hubby included, helps to prepare the nearly dozen bowls of add-ons, such as tomatoes, avocado dip, sour cream, lettuce, etc.

Now, the girls help roll and fry our own tortillas too.

Tortilla Bread Machine Recipe

We started out with this recipe, and made the following adjustments:

• We do not grease the pan
• We do not wait for dark brown-black burnt marks.
• We flip only once.
• We set our gas stove at medium high, 5 out of 6 on our dial.
• We made this recipe the third time with corn flour and it was delicious. It was just much harder to roll them into nice circles with rounded edges.

Homemade Taco Seasonings Recipe

Considering we have almost hundred different spices in our cabinets, literally, we actually had everything on this list except onion powder.

• This recipe lasted 3 (1.5 pound meat) dinners.
• Storing it in a sandwich bag worked perfectly fine as well.

We added half a jar of medium or hot salsa to our meat, and yum-yum our tacos were done!

Taco toppings

So, what do you put on your tacos?

We always have the following dishes for everyone to fill their own tacos themselves:

• lettuce
• tomatoes
• medium  or hot salsa
• sour cream (we put this on last as the “glue” to hold the rolled soft taco together)
• avocado dip (one avocado with the juice of half a lemon or one full lime, both are delicious!)
• shredded cheese (we prefer white or orange cheddar rather than ‘taco’ or  ‘Mexican’ shredded cheese mixes)
• fresh or pickled jalepeno peppers
• Tobacco sauce

On ambitious days, we make chicken and beans dishes too.

So, what do you add in your tacos? We always have room for another topping or side dish, so please share below.
