Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
4 cups water
½ cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons cooking oil
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
4 cups shredded American cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Top with remaining cheese.
