When I visited my DB and SIL this year, she made some fabulous beef tacos. Her cooking is authentic Mexican, which she learned from her mother. I watched her make this simple recipe. She served the beef with tortillas (our choice of flour or corn) and Aztec guacamole. The combination is so flavorful, tender, fresh, and, using corn tortillas, very low fat.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs sliced sirloin, strips (cut like for stir-fry)
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups water
Directions:
1. Place sliced beef strips in medium saucepan. Cut the onion and garlic in quarters. Add to the beef in the saucepan. Add salt and the water.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer, uncovered, slowly for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until the beef is very tender (check from time to time to make sure it hasn't boiled dry).
3. Serve beef with warm soft tortillas and Aztec guacamole (posted separately).
