TACOS AMERICANOS
A bit spicy and full of fl avor, this is a great recipe to have in your arsenal –
kids especially will love assembling their own tacos.
Makes about 12 tacos
1. Insert the medium shredding disc into the work bowl
of the food processor. On High, shred the Monterey
Jack. Remove and reserve, keeping it loosely covered
with plastic wrap. Flip the disc to the slicing disc side.
On High, slice the lettuce; remove and reserve. Slice
the tomatoes and reserve.
2. Remove the slicing disc and insert the chopping
blade. With the machine running on High, drop the
garlic and jalapeño through the feed tube until fi nely
chopped. Stop the machine, scrape down the sides
of the bowl and add the onion. Pulse to fi nely chop,
about 3 times. Scrape down the sides of the bowl
and add the stew meat. Using 10 to 12 long pulses,
fi nely chop the meat, pausing between pulses to
allow it to drop back into the bowl. Scrape down the
sides of the bowl halfway through chopping.
3. Put the oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped meat-vegetable mixture, spices
and salt. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add
the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Add
the broth and cook until it has evaporated. Remove
the pan from the heat.
4. To assemble the tacos, put about 2 to 3 tablespoons
of taco meat in the center of each tortilla. Top with
some of the lettuce, tomato and cheese. Garnish with
sour cream, salsa and guacamole.
