I had the simplest birthday celebration (so far) this year. The plan was to go out of town (Tagaytay!) but because of the coming of Typhoon Pepeng (Parma), we decided to just stay home and have the simplest celebration. Besides, we were just recovering from Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) that time.
We prepared tacos. In fact we bought the ingredients on a Friday, when people were sort of panic buying in preparation for the land fall of Typhoon Pepeng (Parma). Feeling guilty, I just grabbed the basic ingredients.
How to prepare homemade tacos
- Prepare the veggies and dice them: lettuce, green bell pepper, onions (I prefer the white onions because they're sweeter), tomatoes
- Cheddar cheese, also diced
- Wheat Tortilla as Tacos (there are many variety in the supermarket, the more expensive ones taste better; tip: check the box first for broken tacos)
- Ready-made tomato salsa (you can choose the spicy, the cheesy, the herb salsa off the shelves)
- Ground beef (or pork or chicken, depends on your preference) - I choose beef and got the sirloin part. Marinate the ground beef for a while. Heat a large covered frying pan or stove-top casserole and add a bit of oil. Saute some onions and garlic. Throw in the meat into the mixture. Brown the meat well on both sides, and then add about 1 cup of water. Cover and simmer until very tender.
Simple yet yummy tacos! =P~
