Method

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until tender for approximately 5 minutes.

  2. Add garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is no longer pink, which usually takes 6 to 8 minutes. Remember to drain the fat.

  4. Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and chili powder. Season generously with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens, which should take around 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer the beef mixture to a plate and clean the skillet.

  6. Place a flour tortilla in the skillet over medium-high heat.

  7. Spread the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the tortilla and sprinkle it with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

  8. Put a second tortilla on top of the cheese. Cook until the bottom tortilla becomes golden, approximately 2 minutes.

  9. Flip the tortilla and cook until the second tortilla becomes golden and the cheese has melted, which usually takes about 2 more minutes.

  10. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

  11. Once cooked, slice the tortilla stack into wedges and serve while still warm.
