Instructions

Make Tortillas: In a large bowl, combine flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add oil and gradually add warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide into 8-10 equal balls, cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 30 minutes.

Heat a large skillet (without oil) over medium-high heat. Roll each dough ball into a thin 6-8 inch circle. Cook each tortilla for 30-60 seconds per side, until lightly browned and puffed. Stack and keep warm.

Cook Ground Beef: In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Prepare Slaw: In a small bowl, combine finely chopped spinach and grated carrot. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.

Assemble Tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with the seasoned ground beef and top generously with the spinach carrot slaw.

Final Notes

Serve these delicious homemade tacos hot. They are perfect for a family dinner where everyone can customize their own fillings.
