Authentic Taco Recipes

Posted by ajeys, November 20, 2007 at 1:55 PM

I grew up in Iowa with gringo tacos. Stiff, store bought corn shell, ground beef seasoned with a packet, chopped onions, shredded cheddar, lettuce, tomato, etc.
When my wife and I went to Mexico this year, I experienced authentic Mexican tacos and fell in love with them. I asked the cook about the recipe and (though they may not be really authentic) this what I could come up with: soft, heated corn tortillas filled with steak strips cooked on the grill with onions, chiles, lime juice, salt and pepper and small amounts of cumin, and Worcestershire. They were then topped with pico de gallo and fresh cilantro. I still love to chow down on gringo tacos, but I will never look at them the same way again. Do any of you have any authentic Mexican Taco recipes?
