main meals | Our lean, chili-spiced beef is the perfect filler for all your Mexican cooking needs. Try it in burritos, quesadillas or over baked tortilla chips.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp chili powder, or Mexican seasoning

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp olive oil

1 small onion(s), chopped

2 medium garlic clove(s), minced

8 oz uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)

8 oz canned tomato sauce

8 oz canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained

8 items Old El Paso Regular Taco Shell(s), or equivalent product (about 1/3 oz each)

4 Tbsp reduced-fat sour cream

4 tsp cilantro, fresh, chopped

Directions:

TOAST chili powder and cumin in a medium skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add oil to skillet and heat; add onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add beef and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and beans; cook 5 minutes more or until heated through. (Note: To turn up the heat, toss in some chopped chipotle peppers with the tomato sauce.)

TO ASSEMBLE, fill each taco shell with 1/4 cup of beef mixture; top each with 1/2 tablespoon of sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon of cilantro. Yields 2 tacos per serving.
