CHILI-BEEF TACOS
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. Or for more of a veggie forward meal, spoon the mixture into crisp romaine hearts for lettuce wraps or sprinkle it over a bed of mixed greens to make a taco salad. We call for ground chili powder, but you could also use a Mexican seasoning blend. If you choose to use a blend that contains salt, omit the salt called for in the recipe. You could also substitute black beans for the pintos if you'd like.

BEEF TACO CHILI
This one of my husband's absolute favorite dishes. It was also voted Best Chili in our county's autumn Harvest Festival. If you like less broth, use just 1-3/4 cups water and 1-1/2 tsp. bouillon. -Dana Beery, Ione, Washington

BEEF TOSTADAS/TACOS
I found this recipe on the parents.com website and decided to try it for my family. Although I couldn't find tostada shells, I substituted taco shells. With 2 kids, probably made for easier eating anyway. My family loved this and have requested I make this again! We also added Sour Cream and although I didn't have any guacamole, I think it would be a great addition to this recipe. Fix them up which ever way suits your taste. The meat is delicious!
