Crispy tortilla bowls cradle seared sirloin and your toppings—ready in 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Bowls:

  • 8 6" corn tortillas
  • cooking spray
  • 2 muffin pans

Pulling It All Together:

  • 1 filets petite sirloin, sliced in half to make it thinner
  • 1 Tablespoon Casa M Spice Co® Cattle Drive®
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • shredded lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, cheese, avocado, cilantro, limes, salsa, etc.

Method

  1. 01

    Heat oven and prep tortillas

    2 min

    Get your oven to 375°F. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel—4 at a time—and microwave for 30 seconds until they're soft and pliable; this makes them easy to mold without cracking.

  2. 02

    Form tortilla bowls

    5 min

    Spray each tortilla lightly on both sides, then nestle them into the gaps between muffin cups on an upside-down tin—you'll get 4 bowls per pan. Work fast so they don't dry out while you're handling them.

  3. 03

    Bake tortilla bowls

    10 min

    Bake on the middle rack until they harden and start to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper plate to cool—they'll crisp up more as they cool down.

  4. 04

    Season beef and let it rest

    20 min

    Cut sirloin into 4-inch pieces and coat with Cattle Drive®, Worcestershire, and minced garlic. Let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes so the seasoning penetrates and the meat cooks more evenly.

  5. 05

    Sear the beef

    10 min

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, then sear beef 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-well. You want a good crust that locks in the flavor and juices.

  6. 06

    Rest and prep toppings

    5 min

    Pull the beef off heat and let it rest for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute. Use this time to get your toppings ready—lettuce, sour cream, pico, cheese, avocado, cilantro, limes, salsa.

  7. 07

    Build the bowls

    5 min

    Slice the rested beef, then layer into each tortilla bowl: lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, beef, cilantro, and cheese. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten everything up.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Halving the petite sirloin makes it cook faster and lets the Cattle Drive® season deeper into the meat.

02

Spray the tortilla bowl molds, not the tortillas themselves, so they don't tear when you press them in.

03

Sear the meat hard in a hot pan — the marinade will steam it if your heat isn't high enough.
