TACO FILLING

Steps:

• In a large skillet (with available lid), brown the meats with the next 10 ingredients.
• Make sure the meat is browned really well.
• Add the Rotel tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and meat becomes very tender.
• I put a lid half on for awhile and then take it off towards the end to help reduce the remaining liquid.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro.
• Serve in crispy taco shells, or warmed flour tortillas.
• We top our tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, chopped black olives, sliced pickled jalepenos, salsa, and cheddar cheese.
• This is a pretty basic recipe and if I have any left over, I'll dump a cup of cooked rice in and make untraditional stuffed cabbage rolls or even stuffed poblano peppers.
• It's a jumping off point so you can play around with it and the spices to tailor it to your preference.

TACO FILLING (OAMC)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over med high heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, jalapenos and seasonings, cook, stirring 1 minute.
• Add beef; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes.
• I placed 3 cup servings in freezer zip loc bags. (It will make 4 different meals -- tacos, burritos, taco salads and taco soup!

MAKE AHEAD BEAN BURRITO OR TACO FILLING (OAMC)

Steps:

• Combine rice, water and seasonings in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until tender. All the water might not be evaporated. Don't worry about this.
• Remove from heat, and cool.
• Place black beans and pinto beans into a colander or strainer, and rinse.
• Transfer to a large bowl. Add corn, onion, spices and salsa, and toss to mix.
• Mix in rice and cheese.
• Fill quart-sized freezer bags with 3 cups of this mixture. That works best for our family of 5. Freeze.
• Defrost and heat through before filling tacos or burritos. 1/2 cup serving per taco-sized tortilla works very well. Serve with sour cream and/or salsa, and fresh cilantro.
