Notes
~ I like using home canned tomatoes instead of store bought.
~ Use fresh garden tomatoes when they are in season. If using fresh tomatoes it will require longer cooking time.
~ Use any tortilla you like. I have tried it with store bought flour, corn tortillas and raw tortillas. If using corn tortillas, use 6 instead of 4.
~ Increase or decrease the spice level with mild, medium or hot salsa.
~ Brown the hamburger ahead of time to make prep work even faster.
