1 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 white onion
2 cloves garlic
3 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano
3 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 cups chicken broth

Steps

Mix the beef with the baking soda and salt, then cook it in a large skillet over medium heat for 7 to 9 minutes until it reaches 160 F.
Cook the onion, jalapeño, and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat for 4 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and flour, then add the tomato sauce and broth and simmer for 15 minutes.
Warm the tortillas in a lightly oiled skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
Fill each tortilla with beef and cheese, roll them tightly, and arrange them seam-side down in a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Pour the sauce over the tortillas, cover with the remaining cheese, and bake at 350 F for 25 minutes.
