Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
2
Add the goat meat to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the broth, cumin, and paprika to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
3
While the goat meat is cooking, prepare the tortillas. Cut the tortillas into quarters and fry in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4
Assemble the quesatacos by placing a portion of the goat meat onto a tortilla quarter, followed by a sprinkle of cheese and a spoonful of broth. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
