Since this was a meal for one, the quantities aren't large so when making for a larger group of people, you'd want to at least double everything.
First, I boiled a medium size potato. While I waited for the that to boil, I played
When the potato was done I emptied the pot and reused it to fry 1/2lb of ground beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once the beef is cooked, use a paring knife to peel your potato and cut thin slices into your pot of meat.
Mix the potatoes with the hamburger, mashing it a bit so it all sticks together well. Add a little season salt and mix. Set aside on a back burner set on low.
Next, I made flour tortillas (yummy). I get a mixing bowl and fill it with a cup of flour. I also add a little salt and baking powder (not too much, maybe a teaspoon or so). Then, place a small amount of canola or vegetable oil in your palm and mix into the flour. Pour a little hot water over your mixture and begin kneading. Add small amounts of water as needed to make the tortilla dough.
Roll your tortillas with a cookie dough roller and begin cooking in a medium-high heat flat or shallow pan (you can also use a flat cast iron griddle).
Once the tortillas are done, you heat some oil in a shallow pan and fold the tortilla in half before frying.
Fill the shell with your meat & potato mixture, top with cheddar cheese, salsa and lettuce & tomato, and enjoy!
You can also make your own salsa!
What I do:
Mince 2 green onions, small clove of garlic, 1/4 to 1/2 large jalapeno, and one small tomato. Pan fry them with a small amount of oil, adding crushed red pepper to the mix. Add a small can of tomato sauce and some salt. Let simmer, stirring occasionally. Turn heat down to low and cover until ready to use.
I hope you enjoy!
