 Ingredients List

  • 1 pound ground hamburger
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 large jalapeno, diced
  • ¾ cup water
  • Seasoning mix (see recipe below)
  • 12 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • Shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for topping.
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • pinch of salt if desired

 Directions

--Cook the ground hamburger thoroughly, drain and return to a clean skillet.
--In a separate skillet, saute the diced onion and jalapeno and add it to the hamburger.
--Blend in the seasoning and toss to coat.
--Heat the mixture on high and add water; reduce and let simmer on med/low for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
--Cut 4-inch diameter circles out of the flour tortillas. A standard margarita glass is about the right size for measuring and a pizza cutter gets the job done quickly. (Bake the leftovers for extra chips.)
--Wrap tortilla circles (3 to 4 at a time) in a wet paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
--Mold the circles into a lightly greased muffin tin.
--Add a layer of shredded cheese in the bottom, add about 2 tablespoons of meat mixture, then top with cheese.
--Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF for 20 minutes.

When they're done, just pop them out and add your favorite toppings, including lettuce and tomato. Add a dollop of salsa, fresh or jarred, if desired.
