Super Powered Tacos by Anne Snieg serves: 4	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

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.
