Makes twelve tacos (6 servings)
1. Insert the shredding disc into the work bowl of the
food processor . Shred the Monter ey Jack. Remove and
reserve, keeping it loosely cover ed so it doesn't dry
out.
2. Flip the shredding disc to the slicing side. Slice the
lettuce, remove and r eserve. Slice the plum tomato
into wedges. Reserve.
3. Remove the slicing disc and insert the chopping blade.
With the machine running, dr op the garlic and
jalapeño through the feed tube and fi nely chop. Stop
the machine, scrape down the sides and add the
onion. Pulse to chop, about 7 times. Scrape down the
sides once more, then add the stew meat. Using long
pulses, chop the meat, pausing between pulses to
allow meat to drop back down befor e pulsing again.
This will take about 10 pulses to properly chop.
4. Put the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meat-vegetable mixture, spices and salt. Stir
to combine and cook until meat is no longer pink. Add
the tomato paste, and cook for about 1 minute; then
add the broth, cooking until the br oth has evaporated.
Remove pan from heat and set aside.
5. T o assemble tacos, put about 2 tablespoons of war m
taco meat in the center of each shell. T op with a bit of
lettuce, tomato and cheese. Garnish with sour cr eam,
salsa and guacamole.
