• 2 lbs beef chuck
• 2-3 garlic cloves diced
• One sliced onion
• 3-4 medium size fresh tomatoes
• Half of a various color bell pepper
• One lime
• ½ cup diced red onion
• Bunch cilantro chopped
• Two avocados
• Corn tortillas

TACO MEAT:
Roughly cut the beef chuck into small ½” (1cm) cubes. You don’t have to be precise here; roughness is the key here.
Meanwhile, heat a heavy-duty cast iron with 1 Tbs vegetable oil on medium heat. Add the diced-up beef chuck. Add the diced garlic and toss it until evenly browned. Add your favorite Adobo seasoning (I am using All-Purpose here) to taste and ground pepper.
In a smaller cast iron pan, toss the sliced onion with 1 Ts vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Sautee the onion on medium heat until it is nice and caramelized.

PICO DE GALLO:
Start dicing the tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and half of the chopped cilantro. Salt to taste and squeeze half a lime. Toss gently and set apart.

GUACAMOLE:
Carefully half the avocados along the core, take the pit out, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork or a rolling pin to mash the avocados roughly. Add salt to taste, ground pepper, and the juice from half a lime. Add the other half of the chopped cilantro and mix gently.

Warm up the corn tortillas wrapped in a wet paper towel in a microwave for 1 minute. Scoop a portion of the taco meat on each, followed by the sauteed onion. Top with your favorite red or green salsa and a drizzle of lime juice. Add a scoop of pico de gallo and guacamole.
