Notes

A swift and satisfying skillet meal—perfect for a weeknight galley gathering or a last-minute crew feast. Keeps well in the ship’s stores for up to 2 days. For extra flair, add a splash of lime juice or a pinch of smoked paprika to the beef mixture. Tortillas soften like sails in a calm breeze, and the melted cheese is rich as Spanish gold.
