¾ cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

¾ tsp cumin powder

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ cup green onion, thinly sliced

Step 1. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and pour olive oil.

Step 2. When oil gets hot, add green peppers and onions in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until they soften.

Step 3. Then add beef to the skillet and continue to cook; crumble until its color is no longer pink, and sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, chili powder, and pepper.

Step 4. Lay out 4 tortillas on your sheet pan, creating an overlapping layer, and spread the ground beef mixture in the center in a rectangular shape.

Step 6. Gently fold the tortillas towards the center, starting from the sides, and continue the folding by bringing the ends of the tortillas upward.

Step 7. Place an additional tortilla on the top center. This helps keep everything in place during baking.
