  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 jalapeño finely diced
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp cumin

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Stir in the ground beef and brown it, breaking it apart as it cooks. Mix in all the spices, tomato sauce, and broth. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
  • Warm taco shells in the oven and fill each with seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese. Add sour cream or Baja sauce on top.
  • Melt butter in a skillet for quesadillas. Lay a tortilla down, sprinkle with cheese, and add beef or chicken if desired. Fold and cook on both sides until golden and crisp. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
  • Warm tortillas for burritos. Spread refried beans in the center, then layer seasoned beef, rice, cheese, and sour cream. Fold and roll tightly. Toast lightly in a skillet or bake for a few minutes for a warm, melty burrito.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Toss with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in flour, then slowly pour in milk while whisking constantly. Once thickened, stir in cheese until smooth and creamy. Add chili powder and cayenne for heat.
  • Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, jalapeño, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Mix until smooth and chill before serving.
