Answers:
Taco Salad
2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
1/4 cup tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup seasoned ground beef
1/4 cup cheddar
2 green onions, diced
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
pinch of salt
In a large bowl combine oil, juice and salt. Add in lettuce and toss to coat. Sprinkle crumbled tortilla strips on lettuce then top with ground beef, cheddar, tomatoes and onions. A sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese rounds out this delicious salad.
Top with Ranchero Ranch or your favorite salad dressing for more flavor.
I always think tacos are easy, especially today when you can buy pre-shredded lettuce and cheese! You can also do the Hamburger Helper Mexican meal which is pretty good.
BEEF & BEAN BURRITO
1 lb. ground beef
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 tbsp. Mexican seasoning
6 flour tortillas (7-8 inch)
1 can (15 oz.) refried beans

3/4 c. salsa
1/2 c. sour cream
In a 10-12 inch frying pan over high heat, stir beef often until browned. Pour off and discard fat; add tomato sauce and 1 tablespoon seasoning mix or more to taste, cook uncovered, stirring often, until most of liquid has cooked away about 5 minutes.
Stack tortilla wrap in foil and bake in a 350 degree oven until warm, about 10 minutes. At the same time, in a 2-3 quart pan, heat beans over medium heat until hot.
Spoon 1/6 beans down center of tortilla; top with 1/6 of meat, cheese and lettuce and salsa and sour cream to taste. Fold 1 end, then sides over filling to enclose. Repeat to make remaining burritos. Make 6 burritos. 3-6 servings.

PICADILLO
The following can be added to white rice or used as filling in small meat pies. For picadillo you can use ground lean beef or turkey.
1 lb ground meat
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small can tomato sauce
1/4 cup dry white wine
Pimiento stuffed olives
Raisins
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large skillet, brown the ground meat, onions and garlic. If meat is not too lean, pour out whatever fat you render.
turn heat down to medium low. Add the tomato sauce and wine. While it simmers, chop up the pimiento stuffed olives and add to meat mixture, it is ok to add a little bit of the brine, if you wish. Add the raisins and adjust the seasonings.
I like my picadillo almost dry, not too soupy. Serve over fluffy, white rice. If you like it soupier, just add more tomato sauce and/or wine, if you wish.
