This is not only a quick dinner, it was a throw together inspiration from items already in my fridge or pantry that I didn't have to go to the store to purchase.
The flavored salsa makes this meal, so you don't want to use just any ole salsa- go for the tequila Lime flavor! It gives it a little kick!
Perfect for a lazy weekend cook!
YOU WILL NEED:
1 lb.ground beef (brown and drain)
1 pkg. taco seasoning (plus water amount suggested on pkg.)
Add to beef.
3 T. Tequila Lime Salsa (I used Kroger brand)
1 can of red beans, drained.
Add to beef mixture and cook until heated through.
1 cup Shredded cheese (I used mozzarella -of all things- only because I was out of everything else- but I'd say cheddar would be best!)
Lettuce, tomato, black olives or your favorite taco toppings.
Salsa on the side.
Bag of Tortilla chips
Arrange Chips in large plate/bowl and cover with meat mixture and your favorite toppings.
ENJOY!
This is a perfect, quick summer meal!

Great, it's after midnight and I want Mexican.
ReplyDeleteI like your sidebar and totally agree. I love to talk and write about, shop, cook and eat food. I even write down recipies and "teach" the other flight attendants to cook right there on the plane.
Throw together... well this looks just plain awesome for a throw together. Mexican food is so a fav of mine and this sounds terrific!!
