What I make when I'm craving mexican—add whatever toppings sound good to you. Tastes a lot like taco salad, but the presentation is more fun and kids can help with the assembly. (adapted from a Kraft recipes flyer)
12 flour tortillas
1 lb ground turkey or lean ground beef
can of black beans, drained and rinsed
jar of good salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded lettuce
chopped tomato
ranch dressing or other salad dressing for drizzling
optional: guacamole, chopped onion, black olives, sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While preheating, microwave tortillas for 30 seconds. Press tortillas into each cup of a 12-cup muffin tin; it's easier to tear them in half, then assemble each bowl with two pieces. Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, brown turkey or hamburger in large skillet, drain if necessary. Add beans and salsa and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring.
Add a big spoonful of meat/bean/salsa mixture to each tortilla bowl. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato etc. Drizzle with dressing.
*You can make the mixture on the weekend, then reheat it while you're making the tortilla bowls. It would also freeze well.
