# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Put ground beef in a skillet on medium-high heat. Cook till completely brown and pour off any extra liquid.
02 -
Toss the beans, onion, garlic, ½ cup tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, plus some salt and pepper into the skillet with your cooked beef. Let it simmer for 5 minutes on medium, stirring everything together.
03 -
Pop the tortillas in the microwave till they're soft and pliable.
04 -
Add about an inch of oil to a deep skillet and warm it up on medium-high heat.
05 -
Spoon filling into each tortilla's center. Fold one side over, tuck in the edges, then roll it all up like a bundle. Stick a toothpick in to hold it together.
06 -
Drop your bundles into hot oil and fry till they're golden and crunchy on all sides. Set them on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
07 -
Mix leftover tomato sauce with green chilis and jalapeños in a saucepan over medium heat. Add some salt and pepper and warm it all through.
08 -
Pour the hot sauce over your crispy bundles. Sprinkle with cheese and serve while everything's still hot.
