The salsa was improvised and nothing was measured. But I had three home grown tomatoes that my Mom gave me, along with an assorted batch of hit peppers. Along with some red onion and garlic, I pan roasted everything in a hot skillet until browned and charred. Chopped up the ingredients (removed the seeds from the peppers first!), mixed in some cilantro, salt and pepper, and a little bit of toasted Mexican oregano...that was it!
For the tacos, I browned a pound of ground beef that I seasoned liberally with a mixture of ancho chile powder, cumin, coriander, Mexican oregano, paprika, and black pepper. Flour tortillas were then topped with the meat, refried beans, sharp cheddar, fresh cilantro, and the homemade salsa.
A perfect meal for watching some football games! :)
