Spicy Beef Tortillas

Now that my garden has yielded onions and is finally giving me some tomatoes and peppers, I thought I would share a long-time family favorite. Enjoy!

SPICY BEEF TORTILLAS

4 Large flour tortillas
1 pound ground beef round (extra-lean beef)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons medium hot salsa sauce
Sour cream or unflavored yogurt

Wrap tortillas in foil, heat in 350 degree oven until warm, about 5 minutes or heat in microwave for about 1 minute on high, wrapping them in a paper towel. Cook and stir beef, pepper and onion in a large non-stick surface skillet over medium heat until beef is browned. Stir in salsa sauce, heat until hot. With slotted spoon, place beef mixture in each tortilla. Serve with sour cream or yogurt.
Yogurt further decreases the calories.
SERVES 4.


This is delicious and doesn't need extra cheese,lettuce, or tomatoes to make it good. An easy way to serve the sour cream or yogurt (both are good) is to spread it on the tortilla with a knife as if you were buttering it before adding the meat mixture. This gives every bite a taste of the sour cream. When my kids were young they preferred these over any other taco. I liked them because they aren't heavy on salt like tacos made from commercial taco seasoning mixes.
