Fiesta Fever! February 5, 2011

Tonight was Fiesta Night, and believe me, I really know how to have a fiesta in my mouth! I used the Weight Watchers recipe for Spicy Beef Tacos. After a few minor changes, I think that we have a winner.

A few spritzes of cooking oil in a frying pan. Two minced garlic cloves and a jalapeno into the pan. Sautee until tender ~1 minute. Add in 3/4 pound ground beef. I used grass-fed beef for this. Cook until the beef is browned. Add in one can of diced tomatoes, 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp coriander, and 3/4 tsp salt. Cook this until most of the liquid has been evaporated/absorbed.  [WW’s suggests that you use corn tortillas that you bake until almost crisp, but not so crisp that you can’t fold them.] Warm two small whole wheat flour tortillas. Top with your choice of veggies, cheese and salsa. Enjoy!

That green monster in the back ground is what both of my tacos looked like eventually. I would definitely make these again. So savory, so spicy, so satisfying!
