Beef and Beans South of the Border
List of Ingredients
This versatile mixture is excellent fare for serving a casual crowd. It makes a good filling for burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas, and is especially convenient for last-minute suppers because it freezes well, too. I like to roll it up in warm flour tortillas with shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
Makes 8 to 10 servings
