Let’s Make Tacos:
- Cook the Beef:
- Start by cooking the minced beef in a pan over medium heat. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it’s no longer pink.
- Make the Beef Sauce:
- To the beef, add the tomato pasta sauce, curry powder, chili pepper powder, minced garlic, chopped onion, and a sprinkle of pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes until everything is nicely combined and the beef is flavorful.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Warm up the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave so they’re soft and easy to fold.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- On a large tortilla, spread some of the beef sauce. Then, add lettuce, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, and sweet corn if using.
- Drizzle some sour cream and nacho sauce over the top. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese.
- For an extra crunch, add some nacho chips or broken tostada shells.
- If you’re using two sizes of tortillas, place the smaller one on top of the large one before adding the toppings for double the fun.
- Fold and Enjoy:
- Fold your tortilla up and get ready to enjoy a tasty Tex-Mex taco filled with flavors and textures.
