Ground beef tacos last night with zucchini

 

[grantmichaels]

interesting ... like the color in the meat mix from the zukes ...
 
they've recently come into my diet as well, and i'm finding them pleasant at this stage of my life (didn't like growing up) ...

They are really good in ground beef tacos. Been doing it for a few years. Great way to work in more veggies without detracting from taco flavor. They absorb the taco juices and become one with the dish. Texture is pleasant as well if added around same time as onion.

Lately I've sliced them on a mandolin along the long axis, maybe 3/16" or so, and Searzall'd them w/ a little butter, and then rolled it around a little herbed cream cheese ... AMAZING!

Ground beef tacos get a bad knock, I will always love them as the tacos I grew up with. Of course, I season and top mine a little more liberally.

I think we pay homage around here ... I know FD and JHP and I all rock out the OEP's on the regular ...
 
Tacos make decent diet food.

 

[D3monic]

Especially if you use grassfed beef. The grassfed n zuke tacos where a staple when I was Paleo and loosing all that weight.

You've been away so long you are imagining stuff. 

Tacos look good. I like zucc like that sauted in butter for the flavor, I bet it would be good to saute zucc in butter and then add to the beef mixture with the fats... mmm.

PS. You don't start your onions first? 

 

[D3monic]

Nah, I brown the meat, drain then add the veggies, sautéed for a min then add seasoning and water by the time the sauce is desired consistency the onions are soft

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Sounds good! I like the onion with a little caramelization so quick saute high heat, turn down, add rest.

 

[grantmichaels]

I'm with Boss a little bit here ... a little head start for the onions (and probably the zuke) in butter for me, too ...
 
Gotta rock that maillard a wee bit ...

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Just preference... those look good...

 

[tctenten]

Did someone say ground beef tacos?
 

 
 

 
 
Had my nieces over to swim and they wanted tacos.   Ground beef, sautéed peppers and onions, cheese and a nice dose of SmokenFire's El Capitan.
