• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican Oregano

• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper to taste
• ½ cup tomato paste
• 4 tablespoons water
• 12 tortillas for frying

Directions

• Cook the ground beef in a skillet until brown and crumbly, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until softened. Stir in the herbs and spices and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the tomato paste and stir well. Stir in the water as needed for consistency. Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes.
