 Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. boneless beef round steak, cut 3/4" thick
1 14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 sm. onion, chopped
1 to 2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (my local stores didn't carry this - of course- so I substituted a jar of salsa with chipotle, I think it was Old El Paso or Pace)
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced
6 9-10" tomato-flavored or plain flour tortillas, warmed
3/4 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (3 oz.)
1 recipe Pico de Gallo Salsa (we're talking real life here - I substituted a small jar of regular salsa :) Shredded jicama or radishes (optional, VERY optional!)
Dairy sour cream (optional)
 
 Instructions

Spoon one-sixth of the meat onto each warm tortilla just below the center. Top with cheese, Pico de Gallo Salsa, and if desired, jicama or radishes and sour cream. Roll up tortilla.

Finely chopped onion; 2 tbsp. snipped cilantro; 1 serrano pepper; finely chopped; and dash sugar. Cover; chill several hours.
