Ingredients
1 Lb hamburger meat2 small potatoes chopped into small cubes1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes, Mexican style 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion1/2 tbs. virgin olive oil1 small garlic clove minced1/4 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. cumin1/4 tsp. chili powder1/4 cup water1 cup frozen green chili *optionalCorn tortillas or taco shells
Directions
Cook hamburger meat until done drain and rinse with boiling water, or until browned if using lean meat. Heat diced potatoes in microwave for 3 minutes. Cook onion and garlic in non stick pan on medium in olive oil until soft. Add potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes.
Squish stewed tomatoes with hands until large pieces are broken up. Add all ingredients in crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours (Can be added together in pan for shorter cooking for about 10 more minutes *if cooking this way then drain stewed tomatoes before adding and do not add 1/4 cup water).

If using corn tortillas heat in microwave covered for 2 minutes or until warm. Serve with choice of toppings. I like salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, cheese, and onions. This also tastes really good in burritos.

One serving is a corn tortilla plus 1/4 cup of meat mixture. I usually eat 2 or 3 myself.
