Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 firm, ripe tomatoes, diced

    Hello, Padma Laxmi ,
    This is almost identical to the recipe I use. I only use ground beef.
    I also add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder in addition to the
    other ingredients.
    We like to fill this in shells (Aztec or home made tortilla shells.

    So Tasty! I served it in lettuce cups but otherwise followed the recipe directly. I will be making this dish over and over.
