Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb. ground beef
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup beef broth or water
1 (8-piece) package small flour tortillas
1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 medium red onion or white onion, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
1 lime, wedged

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles. Add ground beef and stir well to cook evenly until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to break up beef into small pieces to help even browning.
  • Add cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, tomato paste and beef broth. Reduce heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and set aside.
  • Heat the soft flour tortillas according to the package instructions, or heat in an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds per side. You can also heat it directly on a gas burner for a few seconds to get char marks on the edges.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture on each tortilla. Top with cheese, onion, tomato and cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, to taste.
