Braised beef tacos (photos)

First I started with all the necessary accoutrements



I then browned the beef (grass fed ground chuck)



I then prepared the organic corn taco shells



and baked them for 6 minutes at 325



while the shells were baking, i drained the fat then seasoned the beef and added 2/3 cup of water




and drank half of this



at this point the beef is just about ready



i timed it out right where the shells were done at the same time as the beef



i then began preparing the tacos. i started with sour cream



then came the beef



i then added some cheese. i decided to go with the Mexican four cheese/cream cheese blend because i like a lot of cheese on my palate.



then i added some Cholula hot sauce to finish it off and give the dish a nice balance



...and microwaved it for 15 seconds to melt the cheese



after pulling it out of the microwave i decided it needed more sauce so i added a little taco sauce



i rounded out the meal with another drink...i figured if the wife wants to eat she can fix her own plate
