Method

1

In a bowl, combine the corn flour and salt. Gradually add water, kneading the dough until it is soft and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of water; if it is too wet, add a little more flour.

2

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3

Cut the beef into small pieces. Heat a little oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic until golden.

4

Add the beef and brown it well. Then stir in the cumin, salt, pepper, and enough water to cover the meat.

5

Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours until the meat is tender, adding more water if needed.

6

Heat a skillet or griddle pan.

7

Divide the dough into small portions (about the size of a golf ball) and roll them out into rounds about 0.5 cm thick.

8

Cook the tortillas on the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they start to bubble and get light brown spots.

9

Top each tortilla with a portion of beef, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.

10

Serve with lime wedges.
