Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
