Method
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Soften the onion 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and salt until fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cheddar and cilantro off the heat.
- Warm the flour tortillas. Spoon in the beef and serve.
Shopping tip
Carne picada is easy. Soft flour tortillas or Old El Paso taco shells both work. Queijo flamengo or cheddar grate in place of Monterey Jack.
