Was craving some Mexican. This is by no means authentic, but it turned out really good, so I figured I better post the recipe before I forget how I made it. All measurements are approximate.
1 lb ground beef (I used chuck)
1/4 cup or more McCormick's Taco seasoning
1 c water
1 T ground cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 c chopped green pepper
1 pkt Sauzon (optional)
2 T tomato paste (I used the stuff in a tube)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (can used any beans)
1 T epazote (optional)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernals
Brown burger, add chopped peppers, drain. Add taco seasoning (I was going to make my own, then I rediscovered the McCormick's in the fridge!) and water. Dump in beans, smush a bit, then add additional cayenne if you want more heat. Add whatever is left, cook on medium low until it's the texture you want. Might need a bit more water.
We've been eating it out of the pan, but the plan was to serve with Tostitos, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheddar and salsa. Black olives would be good too. We're out of lettuce, but it would make a nice taco salad.
