Cheesy ground beef tortillas are simple and easy. I usually make these up for birthdays and parties. They are also great for weekends or having friends over for a ballgame. Give them a try, and let us know what you think.
The cooking tips to these tasty tortillas are as follows: First, try to use lean ground beef. If you don’t have it on hand, be sure to drain the fat off. You can add as much onion and garlic as you like, or you can leave one or both out. The corn is optional, but it adds a nice touch. If you’re not a corn lover, you can leave it out or substitute it with green peas or something else. I like to keep my tortillas simple, so I simply top them with tomatoes and cheese. You can add the topping of your choice, however .Lastly, you can make your tortillas from scratch or buy them from the grocery store.

Drizzle some tomato sauce over the top.
