Directions

1. For tortilla bowls, wrap tortillas in foil. Warm in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes. Spray four 10-ounce custard cups with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully press 1 tortilla into each cup. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until crisp. Cool; remove from custard cups.

2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook meat, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain fat.

3. Stir in tomato sauce, vinegar, cumin, and red pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

4. Divide lettuce among 4 serving plates. Place a tortilla on each plate. Spoon beef mixture into tortillas. Sprinkle with green or red pepper and cheese. Serve with cherry tomato halves. Makes 4 servings.
