This was a great way for me to use my dry black beans before they expire. My kids LOVED this. but I think Caleb is part Mexican. I have yet to try with pinto beans and also want to try with a homemade taco seasoning, but I will update when I do. For, now, this was so great and fed us for many meals. (freezing the rest) Taco salad, tacos, navajo tacos, burritos, quesadillas...etc
"An easy, healthy, and frugal way to prepare taco meat. Dry beans add fiber, take out the fat, and lower the cost! No prep, just throw everything in the morning and have the start of a great meal ready by supper time!"

I made this tonight with a homemade mix of taco seasoning. It was so good! We had them as navajo tacos with some rhodes frozen rolls I am trying to use up in my freezer. Just a quick note about that--I used my new tortilla maker to flatten the rolls for scones--it was so easy!
ReplyDeleteI just had this chicken and ate it like a chicken taco salad. I also had leftovers to make tortillas and have a cafe rio salad. This is a keeper! ( I also used the homemade taco seasoning)
