Ingredients:
For the Tlayudas:
-
6 Rodriguez Bakery flour tortillas

10 oz ground lamb or beef
-
1 small onion, finely grated
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 ripe tomato, grated or finely chopped
-
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Mix the Topping:
In a bowl, combine the ground meat, onion, garlic, tomato, bell pepper, tomato paste, spices, and chopped parsley. Mix until it forms a cohesive, spreadable mixture.
Build the Tlayudas:
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay out the Rodriguez Bakery tortillas and spread a thin, even layer of the meat mixture onto each one, pressing gently so it adheres.
Bake to Crispiness:
Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp at the edges and the topping is cooked through and slightly browned.
