Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 small yellow onion, chopped

3 cooked burgers (3 ounces each), crumbled

3 tablespoons tomato paste

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cloves

Salt, to taste

8 to 10 flour tortillas

Guacamole, homemade or store bought, to serve

Salsa or pico de gallo, homemade or store bought, to serve

Directions

  1. For the filling: Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and saute until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, tomato paste, cumin, coriander, paprika and cloves. Stir well to mix. Season with the salt. Reduce the flame to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, heat the tortillas on a grill. Wrap them in a towel to keep them warm. 
  3. To serve, bring the tortillas, guacamole, salsa, cheese and meat filling to the table, and serve them family style.
