- 2 (12 ounce) cans roast beef with gravy
- 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
- 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles
- Oil for frying
- 18 corn tortillas
Original yield: 6 servings
Directions
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the roast beef with gravy, shredded pepper Jack cheese, and diced green chiles. Use a fork to break up the beef and mix everything thoroughly. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Briefly fry each tortilla for 2 to 3 seconds, just until it softens. Drain tortillas on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3: Working in batches, place a line of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the filling and arrange it in a skillet with the seam side facing down.
Step 4: Cook the rolled tortillas over medium heat until they are evenly browned on all sides, about 5 to 8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels before serving.
