Have-It-Your-Way Tacos
Makes 6 servings
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
12 taco shells
One 15 1/2-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
1 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen, thawed)
1 cup salsa
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pick-And-Choose Toppings (optional):
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup sliced black olives
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook, breaking up the large pieces, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat. While the meat is cooking, bake the taco shells according to package directions. When the meat is done, add the beans, cheese, corn as desired, salsa, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Cook until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the meat filling into each of 12 taco shells. Serve with optional toppings.
