1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 (4 oz) can diced mild green chilies
1 (14 1/2 oz) can diced tomatoes , no salt added, drained

8 (8 inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas, warm according to package directions

Directions:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until lightly browned, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Add beef and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Add chili powder, cumin, pepper, chiles, tomatoes, corn, and beans and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Season to taste with salt, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and keep warm.
To serve the original Family Fiesta Soft Tacos, plate up warm tortillas, dish up the cheese, lettuce, and avocado (if desired). Serve with taco meat filling. Assemble and enjoy.
