I got this recipe from a friend of mine who was from Mexico City. He owned and operated a taco cart and taught me how to make 'real' Mexican tacos.
Ingredients

- 1 small onion, quartered shopping list
- 5 cloves of garlic, slightly smashed shopping list

How to make it
- In a large stockpot, add beef top sirloin, onions, garlic, salt and pepper and cover with water.
- Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender.
- Once meat is tender, remove from pot and let rest on a cutting board.
- Once cooled, cut sirloin up into either strips or bite-size chunks.
- Heat enough vegetable oil to coat bottom of a large skillet.
- Over medium-high heat, 'fry' the beef and brown slightly. Set aside.
- Make the salsa verde by adding all ingredient items to a blender and blending until smooth.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave by covering with a damp paper towel and heating for 30 seconds.
- To assemble:
- Take corn tortilla and add meat, salsa verde and garnishments.
- Squeeze lime juice over everything and eat immediately.
