Ingredients
Pico de gallo
- 2 ripe roma tomatoes diced small (about ⅛ inch)
- ½ cup white onion finely diced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper seeded and finely diced (use half for milder heat)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice about 1 lime
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
Beef Filling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons masa harina
- 4 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
- 1 1/3 pounds ground chuck
Shells and Toppings
- 12 inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the pico de gallo to allow flavors to develop while cooking the meat. Combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
- For the beef filling, combine all dry seasonings in a small bowl. Brown the ground chuck in a large nonstick skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease, then add the seasoning mixture and water. Simmer on medium-low for 20 minutes until most liquid has evaporated but the meat remains moist.
- To assemble, warm each tortilla in a medium skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side. Layer 2 tablespoons cheese, 3 tablespoons seasoned beef, and 1 tablespoon pico de gallo in the center, edge to edge. Fold tortillas in half and serve immediately while hot and the cheese is melty.
