Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
- 15.5 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 packet Siete mild taco seasoning (or another dairy-free taco seasoning)
- ⅓ cup water*
- 6 single-serving bags of tortilla chips or corn chips (I like Siete tortilla chips)
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
-
Heat a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the ground beef and the chopped onion. Cook for 7-8 minutes, using a spoon or spatula to break apart the meat as it cooks, until fully browned. Drain the pan if there is excess fat present after browning.
-
Add the pinto beans, taco seasoning, and water to the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until the sauce thickens and the beans are warm.
-
When ready to eat, scoop the taco meat mixture into the bags of tortilla chips, and top with tomatoes, lettuce, and scallions. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- *The amount of water used here is proportional to the Siete taco seasoning; if you use another brand of taco seasoning follow package directions for how much water to use.
- If there is excess grease in your pan, do not drain it into your sink, as the fat can clog pipes. Drain into a heat-safe bowl, and when the fat cools, you can throw it in the garbage.
- Don’t add the taco meat to the bags of chips until directly before eating, or the chips will get soggy. If serving for a party, you can place bowls with all the ingredients out, and allow people to serve themselves when ready.
