Introduction

I modified my usual taco recipe to include ground sirloin instead of regular beef. A can of black beans cuts the calories and also helps stretch this meal out over 2 days one diner and the next day's lunch.

Ingredients

    24 taco shells (4 tacos per adult, 2 per child - 2 day meal)

    ground sirloin 1 lb
    1 can black beans drained
    1 medium onion
    1 large red pepper diced
    1 clove garlic
    chilli powder to taste
    cumin to taste

    2 medium tomatoes diced (one per day)
    2 cups fresh spinach leaves (one cup per day)
    2 cup low fat shredded mexican cheeses (one cup per day)


    brown the ground sirloin and the onion, red pepper, and garlic cloves all in a pan together until the sirloin is brown, add the spices and beans and warm through. Divide this into 2 and set aside half of it for tomorrow's lunch.

    Toast the taco shells (1 box of 12) in the toaster oven or oven to crisp up. Use the second box of 12 for lunch the next day.

    top with diced tomatoes, spinach leaves, salsa and cheese.

    First day dinner my husband and I eat 4 tacos each and my 2 kids have 2 tacos each...then we have the left overs and eat the second half for lunch the next day. I have found this to be the easiest method for my busy schedule so most of my recipes are 2 day meals.
