INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 pounds ground chuck
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons chili powder
    • 2 tablespoons paprika
    • 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 🥗 ½ medium green bell pepper, chopped

    • 12 ounces queso asadero (white Mexican cheese)
    • 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

STEPS

1

Place the ground chuck in a large skillet, and season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and garlic. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Add more water as necessary during cooking, and break the meat into small pieces.

2

Mix the bell pepper and onion into the skillet, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. Drain and reserve juices. Skim the fat off the juices. Mix 5 tablespoons of the remaining juices back into the skillet with the beef, and cook until heated through.

3

Serve the beef on the tortillas. Garnish with queso asadero, sour cream, tomato, and lettuce.
