  • 1/3 cup NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Fat Free Milk
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 large (or 2 small) chipotle chile in adobo sauce from a can, seeds removed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon MAGGI Granulated Chicken Flavor Bouillon, divided
  • 1 tablespoon NESCAFÉ CLÁSICO 100% Pure Instant Coffee Granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup unpeeled, cubed Yukon gold potato
  • 1 cup finely chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup seeded, chopped, roasted poblano chile
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 20 corn tortillas, warm
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

Make It

Step 1

Place yogurt, evaporated milk, lime juice, chipotle chile, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon bouillon in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Combine remaining 1 tablespoon bouillon, coffee granules and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef; cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add onion, potato and bouillon/coffee mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add tomato, poblano chile and cilantro. Stir; cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

Spoon ¼ cup beef mixture on a warm corn tortilla. Top with chipotle sauce and lettuce. Refrigerate any remaining sauce.
Tip:
Substitute tortillas with lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps.
