Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef chuck (10% to 20% fat)
- 20 oz Rotel Tomatoes with Green Chilis ((Two 10 oz cans with their juice))
- 1 tsp chili powder (plus more for serving)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)
- 20 yellow corn tortillas ((small) or Hard Taco Shells)
- 1/2 iceberg lettuce (shredded)
- 2/3 cup sour cream (for topping)
- 2 limes (cut into wedges)
- 1/4 bunch Cilantro sprigs (to serve)
Steps
-
Heat a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Add 2 lbs ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally until cooked through (5 minutes). Use a spoon to skim off and discard most of the excess fat, leaving about 2-3 Tbsp in the pan.
-
Add 2 cans of tomatoes, 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp salt. Continue to cook until beef is fully cooked and sauce slightly reduced and most of the tomato liquid has evaporated (7 to 10 minutes).
-
Before serving, on a dry large non-stick pan over medium/high heat, toast both sides of tortillas just until hot and barely starting to turn golden (15-30 seconds per side). Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
-
To serve, place a heaping spoonful of beef over each tortilla, top with lettuce, mango salsa, sprigs of cilantro, sour cream and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired. Squeeze fresh lime juice just before eating.
