Instructions

Prep
1

Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (3 TBSP for 4 servings). Dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems. Quarter lime.

Make Salsa and Crema
2

In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of chipotle powder to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Cook Onion
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook Beef
4

Add beef to pan with onion; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. (TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.) Add tomato paste, Southwest Spice, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until mixture is thickened and saucy, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If you like things spicy, stir in a pinch of remaining chipotle powder.

Warm Tortillas
5

While beef cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

Serve
6

Divide beef filling between tortillas. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and top with salsa, crema, and remaining cilantro. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
