Preparation

Preheat grill to medium.

In a bowl, mix ground beef, chili powder, cumin, parsley, egg, breadcrumbs and Monterey Jack. Season to taste.

Divide mixture into 10 or 12 portions and form into a sausage shape.

Place on grill and cook 10–15 minutes with lid closed, turning frequently, until meat is completely cooked.

Briefly warm the tortillas on grill to soften them.
