Instructions

    For Beef Filling:
  1. Heat a cast iron sauce pan with the olive oil and add beef, garlic, tomatoes, onions and jalapeño; gently sauté until the onion is softened and the garlic fragrant.
  2. Add the water, beans and seasonings and continue to gently simmer.
  3. Small Tomato Salad for the Tortilla Topping:
  4. Combine all of the above in a small bowl and mix.
  5. For the Flatbread:
  6. In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Mix and make a well in the center; add the oil and slowly add enough water to bring the flour together.
  7. Form the flour into a soft, springy ball.
  8. Four a clean surface and place the dough on the surface. Cut the dough into quarters; for into small balls and then cut in half again. Form into balls and roll out as thin as possible but still manageable to lift.
  9. Heat a cast iron pan and place the flatbread on the pan. When it bubbles and becomes firm; flip and finish cooking. Wrap in a cloth until ready to use.
  10. To Build the Tortilla:
  11. Plate the flatbread; fill with the beef followed by the tomato salad, sour cream and finally the shredded cheese; finally fold over and EAT!!

    I love Mexican food very much. This would be even better for me with chicken as I'm not supposed to eat much beef. Bugger on that as I sneak some beef now and then. I don't tell my doctor either.

    Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

    I love tortillas!! I have just come back from the US, where I spent quite a deal of time in the southwest, and I have had some amazing tortillas, enchiladas and burritos. These look fabulous - I will have to try making my own tortillas.

    Hi Catherine,
    Another busy day in Catherine's kitchen...Fabulous recipe! I love dishes that you can make your own, by adding or taking out what your family likes. The photos of the steps are terrific, I always enjoy seeing that, from nothing to something outstanding. It is so exciting to see the outcome. Love the flatbread recipe too! Great combination of ingredients...Another Gold Star for Living the Gourmet *...Blessing for a lovely weekend... Dottie :)
