Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large baking potato
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
3/4 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped
1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes with juice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
Coarse salt
4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
1 lime, plus wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes; cut into 1/2-inch dice. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add potato; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Add beef, onion, and jalapeno; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until beef is thoroughly browned, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes.
  • Heat tortillas, one at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, about 10 seconds.
  • Leaving space on bottom and sides, layer tortillas with sour cream, lettuce, beef mixture, cheese, and cilantro, if using; squeeze lime juice on top. Fold bottom upward, covering filling by 2 inches. Fold each side to overlap, leaving the top end open. Serve garnished with lime wedges.

RAMONA'S POTATO STEW



Ramona's Potato Stew image

A very dear lady, Ramona Karpierz, taught me this recipe about 35 years ago. She called it Potatoes, Tomatoes and Cominos, and occasionaly, End of the Month Stew. Now it's called, Ramonas Potato Stew. Goes well with a crisp salad and warm cornbread/muffins.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
3 large russet potatoes
1 medium onions, yellow, medium
2 clove garlic
1 can(s) 6 oz. tomato paste
6 c water
1 Tbsp cumin seeds
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  • 2. Add vegetable oil to a 4-5 quart pot and add the onion and garlic. Cook to soften; about 3 to 5 minutes on medium heat.
  • 3. Add the ground beef to the onions and garlic and continue cooking, stiring occasionally until the meat is just done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain off the fat and return to the pot.
  • 4. Meanwhile, dice the potatoes, peeled or not. When meat mixture is browned and drained, add the potatoes and the cumin. If using the cumin seeds, rub between the palms of your hands to release the oils a bit. If you prefer the ground cumin, just add. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes.
  • 5. Add the water and the tomato paste and stir til the paste is completely disolved. Add the salt and pepper and turn up to bring to a boil. Continue cooking, uncovered, at about medium high heat until potatoes are tender; about 25 to 30 minutes
