1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 cups tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sauté meat, half the onion and 1 clove of garlic in a

minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.

Transfer all but 1/2 cup sauce into the meat and bean mixture. Mix
thoroughly. Transfer the remaining sauce to a bowl and keep warm. Dip half
the tortillas, one at a time, in the hot tomato sauce until softened.

mixture evenly over tortillas. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas,
