How To Make mexican essentials: corn to be wild street tacos

1PREP/PREPARE -
2The spice recipe is one that I like use with street tacos. If you have your own favorite, use it in place of this one. In addition, the proportions make enough spice for three of these recipes. Just take the additional spice, and store in a glass container (old spice jar) for the next time.
-
3The cheese I am using for this recipe is Cotija, also known as Mexican Parmesan.
-
4Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
5Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium heat, sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the seasoning mix, and cook until beginning to brown, about 8 – 10 minutes.
-
6Add the stock or water, and the corn, and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the mixture is heated through, about 5 – 7 minutes.

7PLATE/PRESENT
-
8Assemble the tacos anyway you choose. My method goes something like this: • Warm flour tortilla • A thin layer of refried beans • A thin layer of sour cream • Taco/corn meat mixture, be generous • A dollop of salsa • Topped with cheese Enjoy
