TINK'S SPICY BEEF & BLACK BEAN TACOS



Tink's Spicy Beef & Black Bean Tacos image

Getting ready for two weeks of family staying with us I wanted to clean out the fridge to make room for the new ingredients I would be buying. We'd only just had tacos but still had taco stuff to use up so I added the last chipotle pepper & a can of black beans to make tonight's tacos seem different & instead of "Clean out the fridge night, Huh?" I got, "Wow! These are awesome!" I don't want to forget what I did because this flavor blows any taco seasoning or drive through flavors right out of the water. Feel free to substitute ground turkey for the beef and top the tacos with any additional toppings you like or have on hand.

BEEF & BEAN -- OVEN TACOS



Beef & Bean -- Oven Tacos image

Tacos. We love tacos. The kids devour them. They love the crunchy mess. They love the flavors. They love to see how full they can make them. And they love to eat them on their special taco plates. (My mom gave us some for Christmas...GREAT gift!) I love the concept of making tacos in the oven...and melting the cheese over the top of the meat. Then piling on the toppings. I doubled up the beef-bean taco meat and stashed the other half in the freezer...I'm thinking about using it for stuffed peppers. Or another taco night. Or enchiladas. We'll see what kind of inspiration strikes (and what other ingredients I have on hand!) when I pull it out of the freezer in the near future. Below is the "doubled version" recipe for the taco meat. Half it, if you want just for this dinner. Make recipe as is, if you want to freeze some. Or if you have a large family. Or are feeding a lot of boys. You get the picture.

This is a great recipe out of my Weight Watchers "Take-Out Tonight!" cookbook. This also makes an excellent dip for veggies or baked tortillas. This has 6 points per serving, I also like to add in some 0 point things like salsa, pickled jalapenos and cilantro. DH who isn't watching points likes to throw on some shredded cheese. :)
