Ingredients

- 20 oz Rotel Tomatoes with Green Chilis (Two 10 oz cans with their juice)
- 1 tsp chili powder (plus more for serving)
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste)

Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
- Add 2 lbs ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally until cooked through (5 minutes).
- Use a spoon to skim off and discard most of the excess fat, leaving about 2-3 Tbsp in the pan.
- Add 2 cans of tomatoes, 1 tsp chili powder and 1 tsp salt.
- Continue to cook until beef is fully cooked and sauce slightly reduced and most of the tomato liquid has evaporated (7 to 10 minutes).
- Before serving, on a dry large non-stick pan over medium/high heat, toast both sides of tortillas just until hot and barely starting to turn golden (15-30 seconds per side).
- Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- To serve, place a heaping spoonful of beef over each tortilla, top with lettuce, mango salsa, sprigs of cilantro, sour cream and a sprinkle of chili powder if desired.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice just before eating.
