**I made fresh corn tortillas for the first time tonight. We had the tortillas with the beef, onions, cilantro, a mexican cheese (don't remember what it is called) and some awesome beans made by my Mexican Brother Jose Gallardo.

Authentic and yummy. I definitely recommend it.  Pair it with my fantastic salsa!
