Mom’s Crazy Open Tacos – from busy mother of three Stacy Hancock
Not much time to throw something together for dinner? Open Tacos are a great way to get a variety of good stuff in while also being family-friendly. Adjust to whatever you have on hand.
Tortilla Chips
Pinto Beans(can or cooked from dry)
1 lb ground beef from Nova Vitae
Greens of choice, chopped(spinach, baby kale, chard, etc)
Tomatoes of choice, chopped
Shredded Cheese- we used Frisian Farms gouda
Toppings:
7 Pines salsa
7 Pines sweet jalapenos
Cilantro
Taco seasoning
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Fry up the beef in the homemade taco seasoning. Drain grease if needed. Add can of drained/rinsed pinto beans when meat is cooked, mix together and set aside.
3. Layer tortilla chips on bottom of a rimmed cookie sheet or a pyrex casserole dish. Top chips with meat/bean mixture and shredded cheese. Bake in oven until cheese is melted and chips look toasty.
4. Top with greens, tomatoes. Serve salsa, sweet jalapenos and cilantro on the side. Goes great with clementines! Follow up with popcorn and a movie, be crowned the Best Mom Ever!
