Your taco Tuesday just got better
Jamaican beef patties are one of the best things you can indulge in. Now Jamaican beef patty tacos? That’s a game changer!
I’ve elevated the beef patty on many occasion. I’ve made it the traditional way, I’ve made it into nachos, I’ve made it into pizza, and I’ve even made it with short rib and oxtail. My taco recipe is essentially an open faced beef patty but treated like a taco.
This is one of those recipes that you have to try at least once. And trust me when I say you won’t ever eat beef patties the same again!
Unique in its own way
All of the traditional ingredients can be found in this recipe. As with all of my recipes, I recommend a specific brand of curry due to the depth of flavor. You can check for that curry below.
