Ingredients

2 cups masa harina
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 pound ground beef
2 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pico de Gallo for Beef Tacos

Steps:

Combine masa harina, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Add 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees), and quickly knead together by hand to form a smooth dough.
Lightly flour a work surface. Pinch off a 1 1/2-inch ball of dough, and roll it into a 4-inch disc.
Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, to medium high. Cook discs, 1 or 2 at a time, until just puffed and slightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes; turn and cook 1 to 2 more minutes. Remove from heat; fold in half to create a shell. Repeat with remaining dough.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beef; cook, stirring, until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and oregano, and season to taste with pepper and remaining teaspoon salt. Simmer until tomatoes break down and mixture is saucy, 3 to 5 minutes.
Fill each shell with about 1 tablespoon shredded cabbage and 1 tablespoon beef. Spoon a small amount of Pico de Gallo over beef, or serve on the side.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll use less jalapeño next time.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
