• Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips. Halve and peel onion; thinly slice one half.

• Make Hot Sauce Crema and Tomato Salsa

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, Southwest Spice, chili powder, and a few big pinches of salt. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned but not yet cooked through, 4-5 minutes.

• Once beef is browned, add green pepper, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt to pan. Cook, stirring, until veggies are tender and beef is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Add stock concentrate and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt; remove pan from heat and set aside.

• Drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil; brush or rub to coat all over. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork. Bake on top rack, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

• Divide tortillas between plates; evenly sprinkle with Mexican cheese. Top with beef mixture, salsa, and crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
