📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start the beef & chicken
ground beef, 450 g80/20
2
Over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, salt, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne to a pan. Use a potato masher or metal spatula to break the beef into pieces while it sears. In a separate bowl, combine the cubed chicken breast with mayo, adobo, cumin, and salt. Set this mixture aside to marinade. After the beef is well-browned and fully cooked, add a squirt of tomato paste and a splash of water to deglaze the pan. Stir well to ensure the mixture is evenly coated.

Add a layer of cheese to a pita and melt it using a microwave, toaster oven, or kitchen torch. While the cheese is still warm, wrap the pita around the hard taco shell so they stick together. Fill the taco shell with your preferred meat, add another layer of grated cheese, spicy ranch, lettuce, and onion. Enjoy!
