Mini Chimi's (guest post by Diane Holyoak)

Beef chunks, shredded
1 jar pace picante sauce (medium hot)
Diced green chilies (as many for your taste)
Grated cheese (pepper jack or mexiblend or just regular cheddar)
"Baca" red chili sauce

Mix ingredients all together.

Cut large flour tortilla in pie shaped wedges and put small amount of mixture, roll up (sort of tricky) and secure with a tooth pick.
Can be frozen at this point and cooked later - or fry in hot oil now - remove toothpick and turn til brown all the way around - enjoy!
