Preparation

Step 1

Cook beef, onion, garlic, green pepper and jalapeno pepper in a large skillet until meat is browned, stirring to crumble meat. Drain well. Stir in water, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper.

Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook 8 to 10 minutes.

Wrap tortillas securely in aluminum foil. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Spoon about one-eighth of the meat mixture length-wise down the center of a tortilla. Top with about one-eighth each of lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, and desired amount of taco sauce. Fold bottom third of tortilla over filling. Fold sides of tortilla in toward center, leaving top open. Secure with wooden picks, if necessary.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

Serve with additional taco sauce, if desired.
