Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin - 300 grams, thinly sliced
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Guava paste - 100 grams
  • Fresh lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
  • Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Lime wedges - for serving

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. While the beef is cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the guava paste over low heat with a splash of water, stirring until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
  5. Once the beef is cooked, pour the guava sauce over the beef in the skillet and stir to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft.
  7. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
