Ingredient of the Week: Friday

It's Friday! 

Today I made a Mexican type dish that I had thrown together off the top of my head one day and has now become a favorite for us.

Mexican type dish...with Jalapenos!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 can black beans, drained

1 packet of taco seasoning(for a healthier version try out this homemade seasoning http://allrecipes.com/recipe/taco-seasoning-i/detail.aspx...it's delicious!)

1 package of corn tortillas

Shredded cheddar cheese

1 to 2 Jalapeno peppers, diced

1 tomato, diced

1 head of lettuce, sliced

1/4 of chopped green onions

sour cream (I use greek yogurt in place of sour cream)

Oil spray

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On large cookie sheet or flat baking pan spray olive or vegetable oil then place as many corn tortillas on sheet that will fit but lay flat. Spray corn tortillas with oil. Place in oven for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp(flip tortillas if necessary)

2. Use medium size saucepan and place over medium high heat. Throw in ground beef and cook until brown.

Once ground beef is cooked add taco seasoning, diced jalapeno peppers and black beans and let simmer.

3. Place cheese and beef mixture on tortillas then place tomatoes, lettuce, green onions and last but not least, a dollop of sour cream on top. Enjoy!
