Alambre Tortas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Cook the Meat

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the beef and set aside.

2

Cook the Bacon

In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove excess grease if necessary, but leave some for flavor.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the onion, bell peppers, and jalapeño (if using) to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

4

Combine Ingredients

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

5

Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture in the skillet. Cover and let it melt for about 2 minutes.

6

Assemble the Tortas

Place a portion of the filling onto each flour tortilla. Fold the sides and roll it up to enclose the filling.

7

Serve

Serve warm, optionally with salsa or guacamole on the side.
