{"id":28488,"title":"Beef Tacos with Mango Sauce","modified":"2025-02-06T11:12:11+01:00","plain":"Origin of tacos\n\n\n\nIt is commonly accepted that tacos come from Mexico, and they were invented long before the arrival of the Spanish there. The ancient Mexicans used freshly prepared corn tortillas and added toppings such as fish, meat, etc. It was an 'all-in-one' meal that provided vital nutrients and energy to those who consumed it.  \n\n\n\nThese tacos did not contain cheese, lettuce, or tomato that we often associate with them today. In fact, the taco as we know it is less than 100 years old. \n\n\n\nIn short, my beef taco recipe is based on this traditional, more refined version that gives a true taste pleasure in the mouth and not just an explosion of fat and sweetness (not that I dislike that, but it's not what we're looking for here)\n\n\n\nSimple ingredients, equally fresh toppings with a delicious homemade mango sauce. Try it and you'll adopt it. \n\n\n\nWe pour a little mango sauce on the taco\n\n\n\nIngredients for beef tacos\n\n\n\nThe beef: Beef tacos without beef is a bit tricky. I obviously recommend using local beef bought from an artisan. For the type of cuts, here, you should take the least noble piece possible, a good piece for long cooking like the carbonnade.   \n\n\n\nAny piece can be used, but the result will be almost identical, so there's no need to break the bank.\n\n\n\nNothing like beef tacos to have a good time with friends\n\n\n\nThe mango\/mango juice: You can make the mango juice yourself, but if you decide to buy it, make sure to check the label for the highest possible fruit content. And above all, no added sugars because for the sauce we will concentrate the sugars already present in the juice. \n\n\n\nTips for successful beef tacos\n\n\n\nPatience is the mother of flavors. You have to wait for the meat to cook and become super tender. In fact, the only risk here is that the meat is not cooked enough... otherwise, the recipe is very, very flexible. Literally impossible to mess up.   \n\n\n\nHow to accompany beef tacos?\n\n\n\nIt's really a complete dish in itself, so you should focus more on the appetizer.\n\n\n\nFor example, why not start with my delicious beef nachos?\n\n\n\n\n\n\tBeef Tacos with Mango Sauce\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tSpices1 tablespoon of paprika1 tablespoon of oregano1 teaspoon of coriander1 tablespoon of garlic powder1 tablespoon of onion powder1 teaspoon of salt1 teaspoon of pepper1 tablespoon of chili powderBeef1.5 kg of slow-cooking beef5 minced garlic cloves1 minced onion185 ml orange juice2 tablespoon of lemon juice400 g of tomato puree500 ml of beef or chicken broth125 g water1 pinch of salt1 pinch of pepperMango Sauce500 ml of mango juice3 mint leaves\t\n\t\n\t\t  Mix all the spices.
