Instructions

In medium bowl, combine tomatoes, green onions, celery, coriander, vinegar, cumin, red pepper flakes and salt. Cover and set aside.

In small dry skillet, over medium heat, toast tortillas until lightly browned and crisp on both sides. Set aside.

In large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion and garlic, stirring and breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder and salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
