garlic cloves3 pcs
chili powder2 tsp
cumin1 tsp
paprika1 tsp

Steps

1

Prepare onion and garlic. Weigh the ground beef. Have all spices measured and ready.

5 min💡 Mise en place makes the cooking process smooth and fast.
2

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the bowl. Install the knife attachment.

GastroLab:Install knife. On touchscreen: select Chop → press knob to start. Chop for 1 minute until onion and garlic are finely broken down.
1 min💡 This releases the aromatics' flavors.
3

Add the 500 g ground beef to the bowl with the onion and garlic.

GastroLab:Add ground beef to bowl (knife still installed). On touchscreen: select Manual → set 95°C, Speed 8, Time 8 min → press knob to start.
8 min💡 The high speed breaks the meat into fine crumbles while gentle heat cooks it safely. Do not exceed 95°C in a water-free dry pan — the meat will brown through friction.
4

When the meat is cooking (around minute 5), add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir in the water.

GastroLab:While the Manual step is running, wait approximately 5 minutes, then pause by pressing the knob once. Carefully add spices and water through the lid opening, then resume by pressing the knob again.
0💡 Adding spices mid-cook allows them to bloom and infuse the meat.
5

When the Manual step completes (8 min total), remove the knife and let the mixture cool slightly. Transfer cooked beef to a serving bowl.

GastroLab:Press knob to stop when timer ends. Open bowl, carefully remove knife (place in sink), and transfer beef mixture to a serving dish.
2 min💡 Removing the knife prevents injury when handling hot contents.
6

Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave (outside the GastroLab).

2 min💡 Warm tortillas are more pliable and flavorful.
7

Assemble tacos: place warm tortilla, add seasoned beef, top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream if desired.

3 min💡 Arrange toppings in order of assembly for best layering.
Chef's note: Serve immediately while beef is warm and tortillas are soft. Offer lime wedges, salsa, jalapeños, and cilantro as optional sides. These tacos are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or casual gathering.
