Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups chopped cooked roast beef
- 1 (8 ounce) jar prepared taco sauce
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)
- 6 (7 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook until tender and transparent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the tomatoes, roast beef, taco sauce, chile peppers, cumin, and red pepper flakes, if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes, or until thickened.
- Arrange tortillas on a clean, flat work surface. Spread about 2/3 cup of beef mixture in the center of each warm tortilla. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and lettuce. Fold over ends and sides to make a package.
