Ingredients

• 800 g ground beef
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 350–400 ml tomato sauce (arrabbiata works great)
• 200 ml tomato juice
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp chili flakes (if you want it more spicy)
• Salt & black pepper
• 6 tortillas
• 150–180 g cheese, grated

Method

1. Soften the onion over medium heat, add garlic for 30 seconds, then brown the beef while breaking it apart.
2. Add tomato sauce, tomato juice and seasonings. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Lift out the meat with a spoon, draining excess sauce back into the pan. Reserve that sauce.
4. Roll the filling inside six tortillas and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with reserved sauce and cheese.
5. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 15–20 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
