I can't believe I'm posting a recipe for hard and soft shell tacos. After all, who doesn't know how to make an easy assed taco nowadays?

Well, those NOT in the know would be my tiny, sweet six year old culinary students. That's who! [i swear, they're so stinkin' cute!] Seriously, they're so tiny, I literally have to lift them from the floor up for them to take their culinary directional photos for you every time. 😆

Anyway, my youngest students, Joseph, Kyle and Daffiny needed to post this recipe for their culinary web portfolios. So, thanks for your patience with this crazy easy taco recipe fellow Cookpad Cooks!

Excellent work kiddos! Chilly, meaty, juicy and seriously spicy all at the same time! Your tacos were beyond fresh, crispy, chilly and delicious! I'm so proud of you all! What a fantastic, fresh and crispy lunch this was for all of us today! Zero regrets!

Steps

10 mins

1

Chop all vegetables and sprinkle with a dash of Ground Cumin and fresh Ground Black Pepper. Authors Side Note: The red and green salsa pictured were made by a 104 year old Hispanic woman in Chihuahua City, Mexico who literally won't cough up her secret recipes. Yup. It appears she's taking this one to the grave. Stingy ole' bag! But still, delicious!
2

Optional ingredient: Rinse your pork shoulder and pat dry.
3

Fine dice your pork shoulder if opting.
4

Chop up your hamburger meat and add your green chilies, cumin, seasoning packet and beef broth. Simmer meat until browned and fully moist and cooked. No need to drain meat if using 90/10 grade.
5

De-seed and dice your fresh green chilies. Or, add your canned green chilies to your hamburger and pork meat. Also, add a dash of Ground Cumin again to the mix!
6

You'll definitely need beef broth to thin your taco seasoning packet. Then, whisk! whisk! whisk!
7

If adding pork cubes - add 1 1/2 packets of taco seasoning. If not, just one packet is needed. Old El Passo is a great OTC brand!
8

Enjoy your tacos with ice cold Mexican beers in ice cold frosty mugs!
