Notes
Here are two easy ways to warm up tortillas.
1. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
2. Stack up tortillas on a plate and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds.
If you decide to make my all-time favorite salsa verde, you can make it ahead of time. The beef can be preprepared as well for longer marination time if you wish.
Boneless chicken strips can be the substitution of beef.
