Tortillas

Meat or Veg Filling

Chips and Salsas

Pickled Red Onion & Jalapeño

Fresh Lime

Method

Tortillas

  1. 1

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm up the corn and flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Keep them warm in a cloth or tortilla warmer.

Meat or Veg Filling

  1. 2

    Cook the Meat or Veg

    For ground beef or shredded chicken, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes. For black beans, heat in a saucepan until warmed through. For diced bell peppers, sauté in olive oil until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Combine any cooked meat or veggies in a serving dish.

Chips and Salsas

  1. 3

    Prepare Chips and Salsas

    Place tortilla chips in a serving bowl. Serve with pico de gallo and mild salsa on the side in separate bowls.

Pickled Red Onion & Jalapeño

  1. 4

    Pickle the Onions and Jalapeños

    Slice the red onion thinly and the jalapeños into rings. In a bowl, mix the white vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Add the sliced onions and jalapeños, ensuring they are submerged. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

Fresh Lime

  1. 5

    Prep Limes

    Cut the fresh limes into wedges for serving.
