Add veggie purees to beef mix and don't worry about what the kids are (or aren't) putting on their tacos. |
Ingredients: |
|
12 shells |
|
Hard shell |
|
1 lb. |
|
super lean ground beef |
|
1 cup |
|
shredded cheese |
|
1 pkg |
|
taco seasoning |
|
1 cup |
|
shredded lettuce |
|
1 cup |
|
tomatoes, diced |
|
1/2 cup |
|
canned crushed tomatoes |
|
1/2 cup |
|
carrot or butternut squash puree |
Directions: |
|
Make tacos as usual, but instead of using water for sauce mix substitute in the crushed tomatoes and veggie puree. The texture is a little different than normal, BUT good and easy to get used to. If kids don't like change, try it with just the crushed tomatoes - blends more thoroughly. Or use a red pepper puree with the crushed tomatoes, also blends nicely.
Freeze purees and pre-cooked meat in premeasured quantities to make prep easier.
