Instructions

1 ✓

Dice onion, crush garlic, slice or cube pepper. Grate cheese.

Tip: Freshly grated cheese melts creamier than pre-packaged (no anti-caking agents).
2 ✓

Heat oil, sauté onion until translucent. Add garlic, stir, then immediately add ground meat.

Tip: Hot fat extracts oils from onion/garlic intensifying base flavor.
3 ✓

Brown meat breaking it up. Add spices, salt, pepper, cook until nice crust forms and smells fragrant.

Tip: Browning gives deep flavor. If just steamed in juice, it's grey and tasteless.
4 ✓

Add pepper, cook few mins until soft but holding shape. Fold in rinsed beans and rice, heat through.

Tip: Rice starch helps absorb meat juices so filling doesn't leak.
5 ✓

Warm tortillas in dry hot pan 10s per side until pliable.

Tip: Heat loosens fat structure in dough preventing tearing.
6 ✓

Pile filling in center, top with cheese. Fold bottom, then sides, roll tight.

Tip: Tight rolling compresses ingredients for nice layered cut.
7 ✓

Optional: sear seam-side down in dry pan to seal and crisp.

Tip: Searing caramelizes outer starch adding texture.

Recipe FAQ

Why does tortilla tear?
Cold or dry. Warm it before rolling to soften fat and make elastic.
Filling too runny?
Boil off liquid uncovered or add more rice to absorb moisture.
Make ahead?
Filling yes, but fill fresh or tortilla gets soggy.
