Ingredients:
6 soft, corn tortillas
1 pound lean ground beef
3 tbsp ground Cumin
6 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 onion
two ripe tomatoes
1/2 head iceberg lettuce
Fry up your meat and olive oil, breaking it into small pieces as you fry it.
Cook until brown.
Drain all the fat.
Pour 3/4 cup warm water over meat and bring to a boil.
Add ground cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
Cook and stir the mixture until the added water becomes a gravy - thickness to your liking.
Turn that heat down and let simmer.
Steaming tortillas:
Overlap several spoons in the bottom of a medium sauce pan
Add 1/3 inch of water.
Bring to boil.
Cover.
Reduce to simmer.
Set the 3 tortillas on the spoons, just above the boiling water.
Cover and let sit anywhere from 50 seconds to 3 minutes, keep an eye on them.
With a little luck, (or practice!), you now have some soft, warm corn tortillas!
Roll em up!
To make a soft taco...
Lay a tortilla on a plate and spoon 3-4 tablespoons of ground beef into it...
Roll up all 3 tortillas.
Spoon some of the gravy over the finished tacos. Salt.
Heat up 3 more tortillas and repeat.

Sides of..
..grated sharp cheddar, pickled jalapenos, cilantro, guacamole and sour cream might be in order!
MMMM!!! San Antonio!!!
