Carne Apache - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground beef (must be lean....like 99% lean)
    8 ounces lemon juice
    coarse salt and pepper
    6 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly minced
    3/4 cup tomatoes, medium dice
    1/4 cup onion, medium dice
    2 chipotle peppers, cut in strips
Preparation
    In a shallow dish (i use a shallow baking dish) spread out the ground beef evenly. Pour the lemon juice on it and mix it in well with a fork.
    Leave in refrigerator overnight, mixing with a fork every few hours so as to \"cook\" the beef.
    When ready to serve, add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, chipotle peppers, salt, and pepper.
    I usually serve this on tostadas with a little hot sauce (valentina brand preferred, found in mexican section in grocery stores.).
