As soon as the meat becomes light brown, drain off extra fat and add tomato sauce. Stir the dish once again.
-
Add beans, corn, green chilies and stir well one more time.

Then add all spices included into the list of ingredients, except for the red pepper. If necessary, add ¾ cup of water not to make the dish too dry. Simmer the meat with spices on small fire for several minutes. Now, you can add crushed red pepper.

Take two flour tortillas and out them on the table so that they become a bit overlapped.
