One Skillet Tacos

I call this One Skillet Tacos. We cooked it up to celbrate Día de Muertos.

I cook tacos often, but it’s a multi-layered event. But my favorite taco is a One Skillet Taco, where most everything is cooked at the same time, and then put into a taco. In this case we put a little shredded cheese and yogurt on top at the end…but you get the point.

Brown off a pound of ground chicken (or pork, or beef, but just strain them well after) in olive oil. Remove. Toss in a diced onion and diced red bell pepper and saute. Add a few cloves of crushed/diced garlic. Crush on some black pepper. Add a can of strained low sodium black beans, stir and return the cooked meat. Add half a jar of salsa. Heat through. Season with chili powder and cayenne to your flavor.

Warm up a stack of street tacos in the microwave (30 seconds).

Put the tacos in a taco tray, put in a scoop of the meat/bean/onion/pepper mixture. Sprinkle on some shredded cheese and some yogurt (optional).

Add some hot-sauce if you like.

Easy, full of flavor, crowd pleaser.
