Make the Creamy Salsa Verde
Add tomatillos, Hatch green chiles, jalapeños, onion, garlic, avocados, lime juice, cilantro, and sour cream to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside. -
Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion in oil until softened. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in tomato paste and All In One Seasoning. Mix well and drain excess grease if needed. -
Build the Tacos
Place shredded Oaxaca cheese on one side of a tortilla. Add seasoned beef, then top with another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla over and gently press. -
Fry Until Crispy
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook tacos until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. -
Serve
Serve hot with generous spoonfuls of creamy salsa verde.
💡Pro Tips
