Dice up 2 chilies really well. We like spicy so I left the seeds in. Remove for less fiery. If your family doesn't like spice at all, replace seranos with a sweet pepper or bell pepper or just skip.

Browned beef should look like this. Now it's time to drain.

Drain over a bowl to catch the grease from going down your sink to avoid clogging. Dispose of grease properly.

Add drained beef, all cut veggies, chili powder, onion powder, salt, juice from 1 whole lime and about 1/4 cup of water to pan. Mix up and simmer on low until water is almost 100% reduced.

Once water is reduced keep on low heat and cover. Keep cooking for about another 10-15 minutes. Stir it and make sure it's not burning. Once meat is finished, you'll barely notice any veggies at all!

Dice up all remaining veggies real well and add to bowl. Save 1 avocado pit. Add juice from two limes and salt to taste. This will create an avocado salsa. Minus chilies for less spice.

You can also minus avocado if preferred. Mix up really well! Add avocado pit to keep avocado from browning.

Finished tortillas. This whole step can be skipped. Use un-fried tortillas or buy hard shells. Whatever you prefer. However we love these fresh fried shells. It does take some practice though!
