MEXICO CITY TACOS



Mexico City Tacos image

A local taqueria offered these as a daily special and they were fantastic. This is my attempt to recreate the recipe at home. I couldn't find anything remotely like this searching for "Mexico City Taco" recipe, but they're so good, I don't really care how authentic they are. This came out very close in taste and look to the taqueria tacos.

  • Place the meat and beef fat or oil into a pot and cover with the water. Cook for about 2 hours until meat is tender. Add more water if needed during this process if the meat is not tender.
  • Once the meat is tender and the water has reduced, the meat will start to brown with the fat. At this time you can either shred the meat or chop it on your cutting board and return it to the pot to lightly brown before forming the tacos.
  • Warm the corn tortillas to form the tacos, top with the chopped onion and cilantro, and season with salt. Sometimes I cook the meat in advance and just brown on the griddle while warming the tortillas when ready to serve.
