How To Make ¡takos raisu!
-
1Prep the garnishes and set aside.
-
2Heat up oil on medium heat in a skillet. Brown the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder, cooking until the spices become fragrant.
-
3Add the ground beef/pork. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Stir in the tomato paste, soy sauce, sake or substitute. Cook a few more minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with black pepper, to taste.
-
4To serve: Spoon some of the cooked sticky rice on a plate. Top with taco meat mixture and the garnishes of choice. Alternatively, the mixture can be served in taco shells as we did (corn tortillas shells were preferred over flour this time) or arrange broken tortilla chips on top . Tostada shells are another option, too.
