    Ingredients

  • 1 large baking potato
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil such as safflower
  • 3/4 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno chile finely chopped
  • 1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes with juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • Coarse salt
  • 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 lime plus wedges for garnish

    Directions

  1. Peel potatoes; cut into 1/2-inch dice. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add potato; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add beef, onion, and jalapeno; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until beef is thoroughly browned, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, cumin, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes.
  2. Heat tortillas, one at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, about 10 seconds.
  3. Leaving space on bottom and sides, layer tortillas with sour cream, lettuce, beef mixture, cheese, and cilantro, if using; squeeze lime juice on top. Fold bottom upward, covering filling by 2 inches. Fold each side to overlap, leaving the top end open. Serve garnished with lime wedges.
