Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 cup Cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 tsp Spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder)

- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- Oil (for frying or baking)
- Sour cream (for serving)

- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, adding spices, salt, and pepper to taste.
