Best Soft Beef Tortillas Recipes

MEXICAN BEEF/CHEESE WITH SOFT CORN TORTILLAS

Steps:

• For Corn Tortillas:.
• Combine Masa with salt and add 3/4 cup of water, mix well. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then knead well about 10 times and divide into 8 balls. Use tortilla press to create first tortilla. Place on medium-high griddle for 60 seconds, then flip and repeat -- try to get a bit of char on each side. Do this 8 times, stacking toasted tortillas on towel to cover. Repeat until all 8 tortillas are finished -- set aside for assembly.
• For Meat Filling:.
• In a medium sized skillet or frying pan, saute onion in oil until they start to colour. Add ground beef and cook until nicely browned. Drain fat if necessary. Break up meat as desired then add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water. Mix well and simmer for about 15 minutes -- stir occasionally. Remove to bowl and set aside for assembly.
• Assemble:.
• Hold one tortilla in your palm and create taco shape. Spoon some meat filling along centre. Cover with grated cheese and sour cream. Garnish with green onions and chopped cilantro. Stand two filled tortillas upright in centre of plate and add side dishes. Serve immediately.

SOFT BEEF TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 250. Place the tortillas, one at a time, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and warm for 1 minute, flipping once or twice, until soft. Wrap them in a dish towel and keep them warm in the oven.
• To make the beef filling, heat the oil in the skillet over medium. Add the onion and saute for 3 minutes or until soft.
• Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until it's no longer pink (about 4 minutes). Pour off the liquid.
• Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat for 10 minutes. (If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.)
• Meanwhile, place your toppings in separate small bowls and set them on the table. Choose four or more toppings, depending on your family's tastes.
• Place the warm tortillas in a basket and the beef filling in a bowl. Allow each person to layer ingredients into his or her own tortilla, then fold them up.
