Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 cup diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned.

- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side until soft and flexible.
- Spoon the seasoned beef evenly into each tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot beef so it melts naturally.
- Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.

- Warm tortillas just before serving to prevent cracking.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-packaged varieties.
