Expert Tips

Want a veggie version? Open a 16-ounce can of Old El Paso® refried beans, and place in a microwavable bowl. Cover and microwave on High, stirring a few times with a wooden spoon, until hot. Spoon beans into a serving bowl, and serve with the salsa and other taco toppings.

Craving salad? Place lettuce in a large bowl or on a large serving platter. Top with the chopped tomato, cheese, cooked beef and salsa. Sprinkle with 2 cups crushed tortilla chips.

This was ok. Very bland. no one was impressed just kind of eh. I think taco bell meat has more flavor. In the end I added garlic, taco seasoning, salt, pepper , onion to spice it up. Maybe ok for a base.

Best way to make taco's: use flour tortilla, soft shells, brown meat, drain, add refried beans, mash real good, add salsa to this and heat all. Put in 1/2 of shell, fold over, fry in one inch of oil; brown both sides; remove, open and put shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, chopped lettuce . This is the best ever. Pgh. Phyl
