Made with ground beef, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes. (Update: Made this tonight for the first time and was very pleased with the results with one exception. I thought the flour tortillas were difficult to cut through. Next time I think I will not drain the tomatoes and use layers of tortilla chips instead of flour tortillas. The extra liquid from the tomatoes should soften the chips.)
Ingredients:
2 onions, sliced
3 green bell peppers (or both) or 3 red bell peppers, sliced (or both)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, drained
2 lbs lean ground beef

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

5. Remove with a slotted spoon and return meat to the pan.
6. Drain tomatoes and add with salsa, vinegar, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and break up tomatoes with a spoon.
