Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lb beef flank steak
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ hot & spicy taco seasoning mix
1 can (14 oz) Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 cups canned black beans
4 cups water
1 cup quick-cooking dry polenta
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, mashed with salt and pepper
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
Fresh cilantro
Crushed tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Add beef, taco seasoning mix and enchilada sauce to slow cooker. Top with onion and bell peppers. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or High heat setting 4 to 6 hours.
  • Remove beef; shred with 2 forks. Remove bell peppers and onions to plate. Stir beef back in to slow cooker; add beans. Keep on Low heat setting.
  • Heat water to boiling in high-sided skillet. Reduce heat to medium; slowly beat in polenta. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until polenta is soft and thick. Keep warm; just before serving, stir in Cheddar cheese, butter, salt and pepper. If polenta seems too thick, add a tablespoon of butter or milk.
  • Serve polenta on plates topped with shredded beef, bell peppers and onions. Add a dollop of mashed avocado, Mexican cheese blend, cilantro and crushed tortilla chips.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The beef was dry and flavorless, and the sauce was bland.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the beef has been tough.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The beef was a bit tough and the sauce was too runny.

I found that this recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.
