SOFT BEEF TORTILLAS

Steps:

• 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.
• To make the beef filling, heat the oil in the skillet over medium. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes or until soft.
• 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.
• 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.)
• 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.
• 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.

BEEF TORTILLAS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a cast iron sauce pan with the olive oil and add beef, garlic, tomatoes, onions and jalapeño; gently sauté until the onion is softened and the garlic fragrant. Add the water, beans and seasonings and continue to gently simmer. Small Tomato Salad for the Tortilla Topping: Combine all of the above in a small bowl and mix. For the Flatbread: In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Mix and make a well in the center; add the oil and slowly add enough water to bring the flour together. Form the flour into a soft, springy ball. Four a clean surface and place the dough on the surface. Cut the dough into quarters; for into small balls and then cut in half again. Form into balls and roll out as thin as possible but still manageable to lift. Heat a cast iron pan and place the flatbread on the pan. When it bubbles and becomes firm; flip and finish cooking. Wrap in a cloth until ready to use. To Build the Tortilla: Plate the flatbread; fill with the beef followed by the tomato salad, sour cream and finally the shredded cheese; finally fold over and EAT!!
