Maggie's Tacos
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion chopped coarsely
2 ribs celery chopped coarsely
1 Tablespoon garlic powder (or to taste)
1 can stewed tomatoes
6 flour tortillas
3 Tablespoons cooking oil
Grated parmesan cheese
Brown ground beef with onions and celery until onions are opaque and celery is tender crisp. Drain well. Combine with tomatoes and garlic and heat to simmering. While this heats, brown tortillas in the oil, making sure they're browned and not just softened. Place tortilla on plate, spoon generous mixture of meat mixture and spread to near edges. Sprinkle with parmesan, serve piping hot.
