MEXICAN SPICY BEEF TORTILLA



Mexican Spicy Beef Tortilla image

From South American Food and Cooking. This is a lasagna-like combo that is quite flexible to suit your family's preferences. Instead of 12 oz of meat, I used some already cooked beef cubes I had in the freezer and added a can of pinto beans and some corn. Chicken or ground beef would work as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for this recipe, as they are both flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

This Mexican Spicy Beef Tortilla recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the tortillas are soft and chewy.
