Ranchero Steak

Directions
  1. Cook the meat:
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the beef, Ranchero steak seasoning, and chopped garlic. Mix well, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the meat is fully cooked.
  2. Make the cazuelitas:
    Heat oil in a pan. Place a corn tortilla in the hot oil and use two ladles or spoons to press the tortilla into a small bowl shape. Fry until golden and crispy, then remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  3. Prepare the salsa:
    In a small pot, boil the tomatillos, serrano pepper, jalapeño pepper, onion, and garlic until the tomatillos change color and soften. Transfer everything to a blender, add salt and cilantro, and blend until smooth.
  4. Assemble the cazuelitas:
    Fill each tortilla bowl with refried beans, the cooked steak, a little guacamole, Mexican crema, queso fresco, and green salsa.
  5. Garnish and serve:
    Top with chopped cilantro and enjoy! 🌮
