Introduction

The Nutrition Info on this recipe is made with 80% beef, Nature's Choice (stop and shop) flour tortillas, canned kidney beans, and taco seasoning. There are MANY ways to make it better, including using extra lean beef or turkey, and ground seasonings instead of taco seasoning, or fewer tortillas. But I made it this way, so I needed to account for the calories :) The Nutrition Info on this recipe is made with 80% beef, Nature's Choice (stop and shop) flour tortillas, canned kidney beans, and taco seasoning.
