  • Season the Beef: Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt and pepper and combine until meat is evenly coated.
  • Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, warm the soft corn tortillas for about 20 - 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable and slightly toasted.
  • Assemble the Tacos: Divide the cooked beef among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with chopped fresh cilantro, diced onion, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
  • Mix the ingredients for the lemonade. Serve over ice if desired.
  • Serve: Arrange the Mexican street tacos on a serving platter. Serve the chips and pico on the side with cold lemonade.
