Pour the canola oil into a large, deep skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat over medium heat. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and set aside. Working with 1 tortilla at a time, carefully place the tortilla in the hot oil and cook until lightly brown on one side but still soft, about 30 seconds. Using tongs, fold the tortilla in half to form the shape of a taco shell. Fry, holding with tongs to keep the tortilla’s shape, until lightly golden, 15 to 20 seconds per side.
Transfer the taco shell to the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle evenly with salt and turn the shell to face open-side down to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Discard the oil from the skillet, and carefully wipe clean.
Heat the cleaned skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to crumble the meat, until browned and no pink remains, 5 to 6 minutes. Push the beef to one side of the pan and tilt it to allow the fat to pool on the opposite side. Spoon off and discard the fat.
Stir in tomato sauce and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened to coat the ground beef, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Fill each taco shell with about 1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture. Top with your desired toppings. Serve immediately. Leftover ground beef can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the shells in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Love the recipe?

Place beef and garlic in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beef is tender and shreds easily, about 3 1/2 hours. Remove beef from pot, reserving 5 cups cooking liquid and discarding garlic. Allow meat to cool slightly; shred finely with forks.
Meanwhile, place corn husks in a large container and cover with warm water; soak, weighed down with an inverted plate and a heavy can, until soft and pliable, about 3 hours.
Toast ancho chiles in a cast iron skillet; cool, then remove stems and seeds. Crumble and grind in a clean coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle.
Heat oil in a large skillet; stir in flour and allow to brown slightly. Pour in 1 cup beef broth and stir until smooth. Mix in ground chiles, garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and salt. Stir shredded beef into skillet and cover. Let simmer for 45 minutes.
Place lard and salt in a large mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add masa harina and beat at low speed until well mixed. Pour in reserved cooking liquid, a little at a time, until mixture is the consistency of soft cookie dough.
Drain water from corn husks. One at a time, flatten out each husk, with the narrow end facing you, and spread approximately 2 tablespoons masa mixture onto the top 2/3 of the husk. Spread about 1 tablespoon of meat mixture down the middle of the masa. Roll up the corn husk starting at one of the long sides. Fold the narrow end of the husk onto the rolled tamale and tie with a piece of butchers' twine.
Place tamales in a steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for approximately one hour, until masa is firm and holds its shape, adding more water if needed so the steamer does not boil dry. Serve immediately, allowing each person to unwrap their own tamales.
1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodle pasta with flavor packet
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can whole kernel corn
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble in ground beef, and cook until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Drain off grease.
Stir in flavor packet from ramen noodles, tomatoes, and corn (with their juices). Break up noodles slightly, and add them to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to break up any clumps of noodles.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until beef is evenly brown and onion is tender. Drain grease. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in the tomatoes, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 5 minutes, until thickened. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, and top evenly with corn.
Prepare the corn muffin mix according to package directions. Spread evenly over the corn layer in the baking dish.
Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until puffed and golden. Garnish with olives and cheese.
Add the ground chuck to a 12-inch skillet. Bring the skillet up to medium heat. While the skillet is heating up, use a spoon to break apart the meat. Brown the meat, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 7 minutes. Once the meat is no longer pink, spoon off and discard the grease.
Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeño to the beef and continue cooking over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and kosher salt over the mixture in the pan. Next, add the beef stock (or water) to the pan and stir until the meat mixture is evenly coated. Finally, add the drained black beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
Pour 2 1/2 cups of the enchilada sauce into a pie dish or wide, shallow bowl. One at a time, dip corn tortillas into the enchilada sauce in the bowl, ensuring each is evenly coated in the sauce. Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish with the dipped tortillas, overlapping them slightly to completely cover the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese over this layer of tortillas. Spoon half of the ground meat mixture over the cheese in an even layer. Top the beef with another 3/4 cup of cheese. Repeat the layering process by dipping more tortillas, sprinkling about 1 cup of cheese, the remaining beef mixture, and another 1 cup of cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas dipped in the enchilada sauce. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce from the bowl over the top of the assembled casserole. If you prefer a saucier casserole, pour an additional 1/2 cup of sauce over the entire casserole in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the surface of the enchilada casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the casserole for 25 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and bake until the cheese is completely melted and starting to bubble, another 10 to 12 minutes.
Allow the casserole to cool on the countertop for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the casserole into 8 squares. Serve the beef enchilada casserole garnished with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño slices. Store cooled enchilada casserole leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Did you love the recipe? Leave us stars below!
2 to 3 cups chopped cooked potatoes, preferably Yukon gold
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat butter in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) on medium heat. Add the onion and cook a few minutes, until translucent.
Mix in the chopped corned beef and potatoes. Spread out evenly over the pan. Increase the heat to high or medium high and press down on the mixture with a metal spatula.
Do not stir the potatoes and corned beef, but let them brown. If you hear them sizzling, this is good. Use a metal spatula to peek underneath and see if they are browning. If nicely browned, use the spatula to flip sections over in the pan so that they brown on the other side. Press down again with the spatula. If there is too much sticking, you can add a little more butter to the pan. Continue to cook in this manner until the potatoes and the corned beef are nicely browned.
Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and add salt to taste. Serve with fried or poached eggs for breakfast. Did you enjoy the recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and cornbread is set in the middle, about 25 minutes.
Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash with margarine and milk until fairly smooth.
Meanwhile, crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned; drain excess fat.
Place the beef and onion mixture into the bottom of the pie shell, pour the cream-style corn over it. Spread mashed potatoes to cover the top of the pie.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pie crust and potatoes are golden brown.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the garlic and onion; drain.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat mixture, chili powder, black beans, corn, sour cream and salsa. Stir until well blended.
Into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spoon enough of the beef mixture to cover the bottom. Arrange half of the crushed tortilla chips on top of the meat mixture and layer with 1 cup of Cheddar cheese. Spoon another layer of the meat mixture on top of the cheese layer, cover with remaining chips and layer with 1 cup of cheese. Spread final layer of meat mixture on top and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top. Top with diced tomato and green onions.

1/4 cup finely diced potatoes (from 1 small red or yellow potato)
1/4 cup finely diced corned beef
A few pinches salt
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch salt and pepper
Fresh parsley, garnish
Instructions
Warm the oil over medium heat, then add the potatoes and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent and the potatoes are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the corned beef and a few pinches of salt, and cook until warmed through. Taste and add more salt if needed. Transfer the corned beef hash to a clean plate or bowl.
Return skillet to medium heat and melt butter. Once butter is melted swirl it around so it coats the pan. In a medium bowl, add the eggs and milk. Beat until well combined. Pour the scrambled eggs into the pan with the butter. When eggs start to set, use a small spatula to push the cooked egg into the center, tilting the pan at the same time, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the outside of the skillet. Repeat until the eggs are almost all cooked, but there is still a thin layer of uncooked egg on top. This should take no more than 2 minutes.
Add the crisped corn beef hash to one side of the omelet along with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fold the top of the omelet over the filling and cook for another 15 seconds. Carefully flip the omelet over.
Slide the omelet out onto a plate and garnish with parsley. Eat immediately.
