Q #1: Before you begin cooking, make sure you have a clean skillet, bowl, cutting board, and knife. Dice the jalapenos, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes. Slice two small limes and juice them onto the mixture. Allow this to marinate while you begin to work on the taco meat. Take out your skillet and place it on the burner. Pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and heat at medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and two cloves of minced garlic. Season with generous amounts of chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Once the meat begins to brown, add two cloves of minced garlic. After the meat has cooked through, remove the mixture from the stove. Heat your tortillas in the same skillet you cooked the meat in if you like your tortillas crispy. Once your tortillas are warmed to your liking, load them up with the beef and the diced vegetables that have been marinating in lime juice. Top with crumbled queso fresco if desired.
