To Assemble

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Guacamole

Start by preparing the guacamole. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it up into a smooth consistency. If the avocado is too firm to mash, you can steam it for about 30 minutes to soften it.

Add 2 tablespoons of water to make the guacamole a bit creamier.

Then, mix in the diced onion and chopped cilantro. Stir everything together until well combined. Once ready, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside for later.

Step 2: Make the Salsa

Now, let's move on to the salsa. Start by removing the core of the tomato and cutting it into small cubes. Dice half of the chili pepper (use more if you like it spicy) and shred the lettuce leaves. Combine the tomato, chili, lettuce, diced onion, chopped cilantro, salt, and olive oil in a bowl. Don't stir just yet, as we want to avoid the lettuce releasing too much water. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and set it aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Black Pepper Minced Meat

For the black pepper minced meat, heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Once the pan is hot, add the minced meat and cook it until it turns brown. Add 3 tablespoons of cooking drinks to remove any weird smell, then continue cooking until the liquid turns into oil.

Next, add in the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Then, add soy sauce, black pepper sauce, and a bowl of hot water. Let the mixture simmer and cook until the water reduces by half. For the finishing touch, add 4 tablespoons of American mustard for extra flavor—this is the secret ingredient that gives the meat its incredible taste! Stir everything together, cook until the liquid is absorbed, and remove from heat.

Step 4: Make the Soft Taco Tortillas

For the tortillas, combine the high-gluten flour and cornstarch in a bowl. Add in the water, vegetable oil, salt, and yeast powder, and mix everything until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes. After the dough has rested, divide it into 50g portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let it sit for another 10 minutes.

Now, take each dough ball and roll it out into a thin round shape (about 18 cm in diameter). You can use a round lid to trim the edges for a perfect circle. Heat a pan over low heat, place the tortilla in the pan without oil, and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip it over and cook for another 15-20 seconds until golden. Remove from the pan and keep them warm by covering with a damp cloth.

Step 5: Assemble the Tacos

To assemble the tacos, spread a generous amount of guacamole on the tortilla. Then, spoon on the fresh salsa, followed by the hot black pepper minced meat. Top it off with some chopped cilantro and onions for a fresh, zesty kick. Squeeze some lime juice over the top to add a tangy contrast to the savory flavors.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Now that the tacos are assembled, it's time to dig in! Serve them fresh and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite. The soft tortillas, creamy guacamole, spicy salsa, and savory meat combine perfectly to create a taco experience that's out of this world. These tacos are so tasty that you might find yourself eating more than one—so be prepared!

Tips for Perfect Tacos

• Don't forget the lime juice at the end—it really enhances the flavor and adds a refreshing kick to balance the richness of the meat.

• Make sure the meat is hot when assembling the tacos to keep everything nice and warm.

• The tortillas should be soft and warm, not cold, to get the best texture.

• Keep the seasoning light. The tortillas already have some salt, and the meat is naturally flavorful, so avoid adding too much salt to the salsa.
