INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 to 1 1/2 pound ground round
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper, optional
  • 1/3 cup refried beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/4 cup mild taco sauce
  • 8 to 12 taco shells
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mild Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 head lettuce, shredded
  • diced tomatoes
  • sour cream, optional

PREPARATION:

Slowly brown the ground beef over low heat, using a wooden spoon to break up and stir. Add onions and bell pepper, if using. When the beef is no longer pink, drain off excess fat. Add the refried beans and use the wooden spoon to blend well. Add the salt, chili powder, and 2 tablespoons of the taco sauce to the mixture. Spoon ground beef mixture into taco shells. Top with cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream, if desired. Sprinkle each taco with a little more taco sauce.
Serves 4 to 6.
