In a large skillet, fry tortillas for a couple of minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-covered plate and keep warm. Remove all but one tablespoon of the oil and sauté onions until translucent. Stir in the hamburger and garlic, frying until the meat is cooked through; season with salt and pepper.
