Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 2 blue corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side. Keep them covered with a clean towel.

  2. Step 2

    In a small saucepan, heat the 1 cup shredded beef over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot and slightly sizzling, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the hot beef between the tortillas. Top each with 2 tablespoons of green salsa, 1 sliced radish, 1 tablespoon of pickled jalapeños, and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro.

  4. Step 4

    Serve immediately, with extra green salsa on the side if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: add a squeeze of lime or a sprinkle of onion for extra freshness.
