Why Favorite-Recipe Friday you ask? Well, what better time to try a new recipe than on the weekend?I got the recipe for the homemade taco seasoning on a site called Allrecipes.com. It's a great site with a lot of wonderful recipes for just about anything you can imagine, and the nutritional information is included, which you have the option to print out along with the recipe; great for someone who is counting calories, watching their fat intake, etc.
Beef Tacos With a Twist
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 16oz can refried beans
- 1 8oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- taco shells or tortillas
- shredded Colby & Monterey jack cheese
- lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and any other condiments you like
Directions:
- Premix all of the dry ingredients to make the taco seasoning and set aside.
- Brown ground beef on high.
- Reduce heat and add premade taco seasoning and tomato sauce.
- Stir well and allow to simmer on low for 5-10 minutes.
- Add refried beans, mix well, and allow to heat through.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool a bit, and spoon into taco shells or fried corn tortillas.
- Top with shredded cheese, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, etc.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- You don't have to add the refried beans if you don't want to; I just think it gives it a little extra flare.
- You could always make an extra large batch of the taco seasoning and store it in an air-tight container.
- Instead of taco shells or fried corn tortillas, you could always use flour tortillas and make soft tacos.
- Instead of tacos, you could also make some loaded nachos!
There you have it. I hope you enjoy your tacos and have a great weekend!
