Quasi Chili Tacos

December 24, 2008

I had a zillion tortillas, one pound of frozen ground beef, a can of beans, a can of corn, and half a packet of taco seasoning. Voila!

1 pound of ground beef (I thawed mine out in a hot-water bath)
1 can kidney beans, drained (black beans work also!)
1 can white & yellow corn, drained
1 packet taco seasoning (or half packet & additional spices)
1/2 cup water
salt
6 flour tortillas
taco sauce

Brown the ground beef and drain excess fat. Return to the stove and reduce heat (I used low-ish). Add 1/2 cup water, kidney beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Stir and add salt, to taste. Let it hang out and bubble for a few minutes.

Stack the tortillas on a plate, covered by a damp paper towel. Zap for 15 seconds on HIGH in your microwave. Leave them in there with the door closed until ready to serve.

When you’ve let the creation bubble for a bit and it looks ready to consume, spoon a generous portion onto a tortilla. Eat rolled up or open face. REALLY excellent with taco sauce poured on top. Easy to heat up the leftovers the next day.

Serves 4-6, depending on hunger levels.
