Spicy Mexican Beef Recipes

SPICY MEXICAN BEEF

Steps:

• Heat a small amount (enough to barely cover bottom of pan) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion, beef and garlic.
• Cook, stirring frequently until meat is browned.
• While meat is cooking, stir together the lime juice, cilantro and salt.
• When the meat is browned, stir in the cilantro mixture.
• Pour in the salsa; cover and simmer for about 1 hour; stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.
• To serve fill tortilla shells with about 2 tablespoons beef mixture and top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and sour cream or your choice or taco toppings.
• Crock pot variation: Place beef in crock pot.
• Add remaining ingredients and cover.
• Cook on LOW setting 8 hours or until beef is tender.

SPICY BEEF BURRITOS

Steps:

• Mix jalapeno peppers, tomato, green chile peppers, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl.
• Cook beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break up clumps, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add jalapeno pepper mixture and burrito seasoning; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
• Pour refried beans into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Warm each tortilla in the microwave until soft, 15 to 20 seconds. Spread a layer of refried beans on top. Divide beef mixture among tortillas. Top with lettuce, sour cream, and Cheddar cheese. Fold in opposing edges of each tortilla and roll up into a burrito.

MEXICAN BEEF CHILLI

Steps:

• Heat a small drizzle of the oil in an extra-large flameproof dish. Brown the meat in batches, adding a drop more oil, remove from the dish and set aside. Add 1 tbsp oil to the dish, then the onions, and cook for 7-10 mins or until caramelised.
• Stir the chipotle paste, garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and flour in with the onions and cook for a couple of mins. Gradually add the stock, stirring all the time, so it's fully mixed in with the other ingredients. Add the tomatoes and oregano, season and simmer for 10 mins.
• Now tip in the beef, cover and simmer very gently for about 1 hr 45 mins until tender, removing the lid and adding the beans for the final 15 mins. If the sauce is thin, let it boil down for a further 5-10 mins with the lid off. Before serving, adjust the seasoning. Serve with the garlic bread and salsa.

SPICY MEXICAN BEEF BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
• Cut the roast in small strips (fajita style), and brown it in a hot pan.
• While the meat is browning shred the cheese, slice the tomatoes, chop the green pepper, and dice the onion.
• After meat is browned, drain off any fat and add taco seasoning along with a half cup of water. Bring up to a simmer.
• Once everything is prepared, lightly grease a 13x9 baking dish and layer ingredients starting with tortillas, then a layer of meat, followed by the tomatoes, green peppers, and onions. Repeat layering, reserving the cheese for the top.
• Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for additional 15 mins, until cheese just begins to brown.
• You could also add a can of bean (black beans or pinto) as an additional layer if you wish. I would have included in the recipe but I don't happen to have any on hand.
