Cooking without onions or garlic is proving to be a challenge. While this attempt to make taco filling without it is somewhat successful it's not a resounding one. It's a bit bland. Still it's better than having Mrs Wyrm finding it totally inedible thanks to post-COVID parosmia that really gets onion and garlic bad. 🇲🇽 #tacothursday

Steps

20 minutes

1

Combine pork and beef in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Mix well and let stand for 15 minutes to let spices meld.
2

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan on medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add meat mixture and sauté until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
3

Reduce heat to medium low. Add water, paprika, and lime juice. Mix well.
4

Dissolve flour in 3 tbsp water. Add to the pan, increase heat to medium and bring to a boil. Return heat to medium low and let simmer until sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
5

Serve in warm tortilla with desired taco fillings (e.g. cheese, salsa, shredded lettuce, jalapeños, etc.). Or mix with cheese sauce as topping for nachos.
