1 can (15 ounces) Ro*Tel Dark Red Kidney Beans, drained
3/4 cup frozen whole kernel corn
8 ounces Rosarita® Taco Sauce
1 tablespoon Gebhardt® Chili Powder
1 small head iceberg lettuce, torn into pieces
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 large green sweet pepper, chopped
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, (3 ounces)
4 green onions, thinly sliced

TORTILLA CUPS
PAM® No-Stick Cooking Spray
6 (10-inch) flour tortillas

TOMATILLO GUACAMOLE
1/3 cup canned tomatillos, rinsed and drained, finely chopped
1/2 small avocado, peeled, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped canned green chili peppers

Cook beef and garlic in medium skillet until beef is brown. If necessary, drain off fat.

Stir in beans, corn, taco sauce, and chili powder. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.

In large bowl, mix lettuce, tomatoes, pepper, cheese and onions.

To serve, divide lettuce mixture among Tortilla Cups (see below). Top each with some beef mixture; top with some Tomatillo Guacamole (see below).

Tortilla Cups:

Answer 2

Best is classified by opinion. Have you watched "Barefoot Contessa" on HGTV? Her recipes are superb and simple. Check out Food.net online as well or try something by Betty Crocker or Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks. Don't forget the cilantro and green onions in your recipe. I like a little chilli powder as well. Last summer my grandmother's neighbor made her salad special and different by adding an ordinary salad dressing. I still prefer sour cream but it was not bad. try substituting traditional ingredients for something new and wild to add some zing and twist to the summer picnic.

Answer 3

follow the directions on any packet of taco seasoning but add in a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans when you put the mix into the beef. Then make a sauce by adding Heinz chili sauce and tabasco to a pint of sour cream. (Just add until it tastes good to you...usually about 1/3-1/2 of the bottle of chili sauce and 10 dashes of tabasco.) Then layer meat, shredded cheese, the sour cream sauce, sliced avocado, and fresh pico do gallo on top of nacho cheese Doritos. (The Doritos are the secret!) ENJOY!

Answer 4

Cook the ground beef or whatever meat that u usually use for taco's..
Use the lettuce, tomato, cheese and what ever else u use for taco's.
mix it all together, add some thousand island dressing and some taco flavored dorito's or frito's which gives it a great crunchy flavor and the dressing is great in it..
