For these street tacos, you can either use corn or flour tortillas. In case you didn’t know, corn tortillas come in either yellow or white corn. Use whatever you like or have on hand. The star of this recipe is the meat filling.

If you are wondering what the difference is between a street taco and a regular taco is the size of the tortillas. They are typically smaller than a regular tortilla. If you can’t find any at your local grocery store use what you have on hand.

For the beef broth, you have a couple of options. You can either use pre-made broth from a can or tetra pak, make your own with a beef bouillon cube or some beef flavored better than bouillon.

If you have some leftover meat, you can use it to make some enchiladas or even use some in a quesadilla. My wife even put some in a bun and made a sandwich out of it. The possibilities are endless.

For planning purposes, you should plan for two tacos per person. Each taco will have approximately 2 ounces of meat plus toppings. For reference, a 3-pound chuck roast will yield about 48 ounces once cooked.
