Method
Machaca Beef Filling
- 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the onion and green bell pepper; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
- 2
Sprinkle in garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir for about 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
- 3
Add the shredded machaca beef and diced tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated through and flavors meld, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Finish with chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Keep warm.
Beans
- 5
In a small saucepan, combine the cooked pinto beans and refried beans. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Season with ground cumin and salt. If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons water until you reach a creamy, sauce-like consistency.

Warm Tortillas
Warm the four flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds per side or wrap in a damp towel and microwave until pliable.
