Ingredients

  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 small red onion, minced
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • Toppings
  • 1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 small yellow bell peppers or 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
  • salsa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced radish
  • 4 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and sliced

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oven to 250. Place the tortillas, one at a time, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and warm for 1 minute, flipping once or twice, until soft. Wrap them in a dish towel and keep them warm in the oven.
  2. 2
    To make the beef filling, heat the oil in the skillet over medium. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes or until soft.
  3. 3
    Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until it's no longer pink (about 4 minutes). Pour off the liquid.
  4. 4
    Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat for 10 minutes. (If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.)
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, place your toppings in separate small bowls and set them on the table. Choose four or more toppings, depending on your family's tastes.
  6. 6
    Place the warm tortillas in a basket and the beef filling in a bowl. Allow each person to layer ingredients into his or her own tortilla, then fold them up.
