Tacos de Papa

Now, for one of my in-law family's favorite meals: Tacos de papa. We make it for the week, for birthdays, and for everything in-between. It's always been one of my favorite recipes and I can't wait to share it with all of you!

Ingredients:

  • Pork Chuck

  • Beef Chuck

  • 11 Potatoes

  • 5/8 of White Onion

  • 5 Roma Tomatoes

  • 2 Tomatillos

  • 1 Jalepeno

  • 11 Arbol Chiles

  • 2 Tbsp. of Menced Garlic

  • Salt and Pepper

  • Small Tortillas

  • Vegetable Oil

  • Lettuce, Shredded

Instructions:

  1. Boil the pork and beef in a large pot over medium heat with half an onion.

  2. Boil the potatoes in another pot over medium heat.

  3. Once both are cooked and fork tender, peel the potatoes and shred the meat (save the water from the pot) into a large bowl.

  4. Then I like to make the salsa by boiling together 4 tomatoes, the tomatillos, the jalepeno, and arbol chiles. Then blending it all together with some salt and pepper.

  5. Then use the other 1/8 of onion, other tomato (cubes), and menced garlic into a pot to cook. Then mash together.

  6. Add into the pot 1/2 of the juice from the meat pot.

  7. Cut the potatoes into 6ths and to the pot as well. Once barely boiled, mash all of the ingredients together. Then stir in the meat.

  8. In a small bowl, mix together some more salt, pepper, and garlic. Add it all to the pot. And mix it all together.

  9. In a pan, heat up a large amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.

  10. Form the tacos one by one by spooning in the mixture into a tortilla and immediately putting it in the oil. Let it cook until golden brown on both sides. Continuing with the rest of the tortillas/mixture.

  11. And serve with shredded lettuce and salsa!

I hope you guys try out the recipe and let me know how it goes in the comments. And happy cooking y'all!
