Recipe from page 66 of “The Dinner Fix”
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb or 450 g ground beef, extra-lean
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp onion flakes
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
Toppings
- 1/4 head leaf lettuce
- 4 green onions
- 4 Roma tomatoes
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, light, shredded
- 1/2 cup sour cream, fat-free or light
- 1/2 cup chunky salsa
- 1/2 cup cilantro (optional)
- 6 soft flour, multigrain or corn tortillas, 10” (choose a lower sodium brand)
Directions
Brown ground beef in large nonstick electric or stove-top fry pan at med-high until no longer pink. Add spice, ketchup and water to browned meat. Simmer meat mixture at medium-low. Meat mixture will thicken within 10 minutes.
Rinse lettuce in a salad spinner and spin dry. Chop green onion and cilantro and slice tomatoes. Set out toppings in small serving bowls on dinner table.
Spoon thickened meat mixture into tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Add your favorite toppings. Roll up your tortilla, folding the bottom up to prevent leaking.
