👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lard or vegetable shortening and let it melt. Once melted, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 375°F
    AI Wisdom: Use a thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F.
  2. 2

    In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 350°F
    AI Wisdom: Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and release any browned bits for added flavor.
  3. 3

    Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

    ⏱️ 2 min (ish) 🌡️ 350°F
    AI Wisdom: Use a spoon to mix the spices and ensure they are evenly distributed.
  4. 4

    Add the cooked beef back into the skillet with the onion and spice mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the flavors are well combined.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 350°F
    AI Wisdom: Use a spoon to taste the beef and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  5. 5

    Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tacos by spooning the beef mixture onto a warmed tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Use a spoon to assemble the tacos and ensure they are evenly filled.
  6. 6

    Serve the tacos immediately, with optional toppings such as sour cream, diced avocado, and diced jalapeños.

    AI Wisdom: Use a spoon to serve the tacos and ensure they are evenly topped.
