Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 ½ pounds ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
32 corn tortillas
4 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving grease in the skillet. Crumble the bacon strips once cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, and stir in the ground beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the ground beef is crumbly and no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid.
  • Scrape the beef mixture into the skillet of bacon grease. Crumble the bacon into the beef, and stir until thoroughly combined. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place a tortilla into the pan, and place a generous spoonful of the meat filling onto the lower half of the tortilla. Cook until bubbles begin to form in the tortilla, then fold over the meat. Continue cooking until the taco is crisp and lightly browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and meat mixture. Top the tacos with diced tomatoes and shredded Monterey Jack cheese to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your alambre taste its best. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the alambre, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Cook the meat in batches: If you're making a large batch of alambre, it's best to cook the meat in batches. This will help to ensure that all of the meat is cooked evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the meat from sticking and will give it a nice, even sear.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the alambre is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Alambre is a delicious and versatile Mexican dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even as a taco filling.
