These made for an easy weeknight dinner. I couldn,t help but add some cumin powder, I also added the onion and pepper whilst browning the meat as the kids aren't too keen on raw. Otherwise served as recommended with added cheese and jalapeno.

Made these with corn tortillas, which were lower-sodium than the flour ones. A great, tasty, filling meal. Thanks for this low-sodium comfort food!
