Like my Tortilla Soup II recipe but modified for people that like beef instead. Personally, I like the chicken version much better.

    Saute carrots, onions, celery in corn oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper until tender.

  4. 4
    Cut tortillas into small pieces and add to broth mixture.
  5. 5
    Let boil for 20 minutes or until tortillas are thoroughly incorporated into soup, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.

    Reduce heat and simmer for additional 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Add milk and simmer for additional 10 minutes.

The soup is delicious!! I made some slight changes due to what is available around here (no Rotel, no diced tomatoes, and no taco seasoning). I used one carrot and grated it - liked the result. No celery. 1 onion. Skipped the salt an pepper. Decided to add about 1/2 tsp. oregano and 1/2 tsp. cumin to replace the taco seasoning. Diced up 4 tomatoes and 1 aji amarilla to replace the canned stuff. Used masa instead of the tortillas (I should have mixed the masa in a little bit of water before adding it b/c it ended up lumpy. Also, used someone else's tip and replaced the milk with plain yogurt. We loved it!!

    This is yummy! I used ground beef cooked with a taco seasoning packet, I made it a bit thicker by tossing in some stale corn chips in addition to the tortillas, and finally, I used light sour cream instead of milk - fat free or plain yogurt would work, too. This adds an additional acid to the soup that works well. I really like this soup. Garnish with chips, sour cream, cheese and green onion and its so so good.
