Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 pound lean ground beef or ground chicken or turkey
- 2 teaspoons chili powder regular or hot
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 8 fajita-size flour or corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup prepared salsa of choice mild, medium, or hot
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend
- Chopped green onions for serving optional
- Chopped fresh cilantro for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a shallow baking dish or ovenproof pan with cooking spray.
- Brown the beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the chili powder, cumin, cilantro, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon the chili mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and arrange side-by-side in the prepared pan.
- Spoon the salsa over top and then top with the cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes, until the cheese melts.
- Top with green onions and cilantro, if using, and serve.
