Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add 2 cups shredded beef and 1 tsp garlic powder to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until heated through and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Warm 4 large flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds each.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the beef mixture among the tortillas. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 cup lettuce, and 1/4 cup salsa.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Serve immediately, with extra salsa if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of cumin to the beef for extra flavor.
