When you live alone, it can be challenging to maintain a stocked fridge of fresh produce and a pantry full of necessary staples. I won't tell you how many evenings I end up making some version of a grilled cheese (lately with manchego and honey). Fortunately, last night I had all the fixings for tacos with the exception of meat which, along with taco seasoning, was one of two last minute items I picked up from Whole Foods. In less than 20 minutes, I had an authentic Mexican meal with likely half the calories.
Ingredients
Corn tortillas Sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb ground round Salsa
1 packet taco seasoning Additional veggies of your choice
Chopped onion
Directions
- In medium-sized pan, brown meat over medium heat; drain.
- Return to heat and combine with taco seasoning (follow specific package directions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer until desired consistency is achieved.
- Assemble and eat!
I remember throwing out a whole lot of food when I lived by myself because I would eat out and forget about my fridge-full of food.
