This savory snack served in homemade tortilla cups or with chips is fun and filling, reports Mary Livengood of Indianapolis, Indiana. Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground turkey or beef |
1/4 pound bulk italian sausage |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 medium zucchini, diced |
1 cup uncooked instant rice |
3/4 cup water |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
8 flour tortillas (8 inches) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef, sausage, onion and garlic; drain. Add tomatoes, zucchini, rice, water, basil and salt; cook until zucchini and rice are tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, form eight 3-in. balls from aluminum foil; place on a baking sheet. Drape a flour tortilla over the top of each ball; secure sides with toothpicks to form a shell.
3. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until firm. Remove the toothpicks; place shells on plates. Fill with zucchini mixture; serve warm. Zucchini mixture can also be served as a dip with tortilla chips. Yield: 8 servings.
