TACOS WITH GROUND BEEF AND BEANS RECIPE
These
classic tacos contain lean ground beef, refried beans, and a variety of
seasonings. The taco mixture makes a delicious filling for taco shells. Another
way to enjoy the filling mixture and garnishes is on nachos. Make a big platter
of nachos with the ground beef and refried beans along with lots of shredded
cheese and your favorite garnishes.
If
you're counting carbs, turn these tacos into a hearty supper salad! Serve the
ground beef mixture on lettuce leaves with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and
sour cream. Add salsa and avocado wedges if you'd like.
