This came from the May 2005 issure of Family Circle Magazine. My better half loves spicy food, but I can only take so much. This recipe is the perfect meet in the middle dish.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 lb ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained, rinsed, and lightly mashed
3 cups garlic cilantro salsa
12 fajita-size tortillas
2 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
2 ounces colby cheese, shredded (1/2 cup)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F Grease a 15 x 10 x 1 baking sheet.
2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add ground beef and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Season with salt, oregano, and cumin.
3. Add beans and 1 1/2 cups of the salsa and heat through, about 2 minutes.
4. Microwave tortillas for 1 minute to soften. Spoon 1/4 cup of filling onto center of each tortilla. Fold up tortilla as if wrapping a package. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
