Pretty quick & delicious … I am sure this recipe is adaptable to personal taste pretty easily
The recipe is from BonAppetit.com…. here is the link to the original recipe… I changed it a bit but not too much.
Some diced onions are sautéed…some spices are added, then ground beef…cooked until done… some tomatoes, black beans & corn…. almost a chilli but not quite!
My local Italian store has some really nice tortillas..this time I used small corn & wheat ones.
Top these tacos with some avocado & we used hot sauce & salsa!
Easily adapted to your taste..if you don’t want to add black beans..use kidney beans instead. out just leave the beans out..oh…& the corn used is frozen niblets… I like to have them in the freezer so I didn’t even have to go get any…
Here is the recipe
Ingredients
1 – 2 tbsp oil
