Preparation

Step 1

Fry the corn tortillas in oil, then fold over and place on paper towel to drain.

Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil from the skillet and return to medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion and cook until softened and lightly browned around the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beef, 1 teaspoon salt, and garlic. Cook until warm, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to break up the beef.

Add Taco Potion and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Assemble each taco with meat mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
