30 Simple Ground Beef Recipes

MEXICAN GROUND BEEF RECIPES

If you love Mexican food as much as I do, try making it at home for a change. I�m sure Pandora has a Mariachi band station that you can play for that restaurant-style ambience!

Tacos � It doesn�t get much simpler (or more popular) than taco night. Simply brown a pound of beef, draining excess grease if necessary, and add taco seasoning. You can choose flour or corn soft tortillas, or crunchy ones. Add cheese and your other favorite toppings.

Tostadas � Follow the steps for tacos, but put it all on a flat tostada shell for a fun twist.

Nachos � Just as easy as tacos, but use tortilla chips instead. Refried beans make a nice addition to any of these recipes as well.

Burritos � Place your ground beef, beans, and onions inside a large �burrito-size� tortilla and roll up. You can pour salsa or enchilada sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese, and bake in your oven at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until melty and gooey.

Enchiladas � Quite similiar to the �wet burrito� above, but use corn tortillas instead. I usually buy the Old El Paso enchilada sauce, but you can make your own if you prefer. To make life even easier, layer your tortillas lasagna-style instead of rolling them. Just spoon sauce onto the bottom of an oven-safe dish, then place a layer of corn tortillas, topped with your cooked beef, then another layer of tortillas, sauce, and so on.

Quesadillas � If you�ve never had a ground beef quesadilla, you�re missing out! Sprinkle some cooked and seasoned ground beef, cheese, and onions inside two flour tortillas. Warm it in a skillet until the cheese is melted.

Taco Salad � Use your seasoned ground beef as part of a taco salad for a lower carb option. You could use salsa or Catalina as your dressing. Crushed tortilla chips and cheese make it especially enjoyable.

Taco Rice � Ground beef turns Spanish rice into a main dish.
