"I created this completely by accident while trying to use up ingredients before I move. I was all out of several taco making items, so I had to just make do with what I had in the house. I really liked how everything came together quickly and was so flavorful. I measured only the amount of meat, everything else is a guess and should be added to taste. I would have added some avocado slices if I had any in the house. Not authentic Mexican, just Mexican inspired. Prep time is also a guess - if you buy your meat already cut into tips, it will be faster."

Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (adjust temp as needed).
Step 2
Add butter; once the butter has melted, add the meat.
Step 3
Season to taste with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Toss and stir the meat until it is brown on all sides and is cooked to your liking; I prefer mine about medium rare, so no more than 5 minutes for mine).
Step 5
Once the beef is cooked enough for your tastes, add the salsa and stir; remove from pan once the salsa is no longer cold, perhaps a minute or less.
Step 6
Divide meat among 2 very large soft warm tortillas (or several smaller ones, if you prefer), then add lettuce, tomatoes, corn, cheese, etc to your tastes.
Step 7
Drizzle with a small amount of buttermilk ranch on top of each, roll up or fold; enjoy.
Step 8
Note: I warm my tortillas in the microwave just before serving.
