8 to 16 oz. cheese, grated*
12 corn tortillas
green onions for garnish

Preheat oven to 300°.
Brown the ground beef in a frying pan.

Notes

This recipe is very flexible. You can adjust the hamburger and cheese to what you have on hand. I use cheddar cheese but you can use Monterey Jack, Mexican mix or any combination of cheese you want.

You can also add other Mexican themed ingredients like chopped onions or black olives.

Fried, Sugar Tortilla Shells

Flour tortillas
Cinnamon and sugar, (1 tsp. cinnamon to 1/2 cup sugar)

In a frying pan add about 1/2 inch of oil. When oil is hot, fry tortillas (I either cut or tear them in to halves or quarters).

When golden brown, remove from pan and lay on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon mixture on both sides.
