How To Make Parisa Recipe The Safe & Tasty Way
Try this authentic Parisa Recipe from Medina County with fresh ground beef, cheddar, jalapeños, and lime. A bold Texan dish packed with flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 lb freshly ground very lean sirloin or tenderloin cold and high-quality
- 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese grated
- ½ cup yellow onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños finely diced (adjust to heat preference)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Saltine crackers for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Everything Cold
- Keep your beef very cold until right before mixing—this is super important for food safety. Chill your mixing bowl too if you can.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold ground beef, grated cheese, onions, jalapeños, garlic, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Stir Gently
- Use a fork or clean hands to mix gently. Don’t overwork it—just enough to get everything evenly combined while keeping the texture tender.
Step 4: Chill Before Serving
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. You can also serve it immediately if everything is cold and fresh.
Step 5: Serve With Saltines
- Scoop the Parisa onto Saltine crackers and enjoy every flavorful, meaty bite.
