Beef Tacos

Everyday

Beef tacos are a foundational Mexican dish featuring seasoned ground beef served in folded corn or flour tortillas. The protein-rich filling typically incorporates spices like cumin and chili powder, while common toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese add texture and flavor complexity. Corn tortillas provide a gluten-free option with higher fiber content, though nutritional values vary significantly based on preparation methods and added ingredients like sour cream or guacamole.
