Mexican Beef Soup in Tortilla Bowls is a spin-off of the classic Mexican soup, Caldo de Res. This soup is a family favorite and has been passed down for generations. It is often served during holidays and special occasions, or for whenever a comforting and filling meal is needed. The addition of the tortilla bowls adds a fun twist to the traditional recipe and makes it a crowd-pleaser for all ages. This soup can be customized by adding in different vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, and potatoes, or by using chicken or pork instead of beef.

Instructions

1.In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
2.Add in the sliced onion, cumin, and pepper, and cook until the onion is softened.
3.Stir in the beef consomme, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
4.While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the outside of 6 medium flour tortillas with cooking spray, then mold them into oven-safe bowls by placing them upside down on the bottom of an oven-safe bowl or cup. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
5.Ladle the soup into the tortilla bowls and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
