Ingredients:
- ½ lb ground beef (I used 85% lean) or minced Tofu meat
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ red onion (¾ goes to taco meat, ¼ goes to salsa)
- 2 leaves iceberg lettuce
- 1 Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)
- Mexican cheese
- 3 cups cooked Japanese short grain rice
Taco Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Salsa
- ½ tomato
- 5 strands cilantro
- ½ lemon
Cooking Method:
To a pan add finely cut onion and sauce until slightly brown. Add garlic paste and sauce. Then add the ground beef or tofu. Stir and cook. Add a little water to help with the cooking. Then add all the spices listed above under Taco seasoning. Stir and cook until meat or tofu is tender and tastes good.
In a bowl containing steamed rice, add the cooked meat or tofu. Then add Mexican cheese, sliced lettuce, finely cut tomato, a little onion and coriander leaves. Squeeze lemon over the dish. Here is Chef Mami explaining the recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWImxBbFnZs&t=218s
