#4: Beef Tip Taco Salad

After a holiday weekend of barbeque and grilling with friends and family, we decided to try something a little healthier this week. This weekend we created a salad using beef tips and veggies.

Ingredients:
1 pound of beef tips
taco seasoning
1 can black beans
1 can corn
lettuce
tomato
cheese
sour cream
salsa
tortilla chips

In a medium pan, brown beef tips mixed with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. After meat has cooked through and blended with seasoning, mix in corn and black beans (both drained). Let the flavors blend and corn and black beans warm.
On a plate, place tortilla chips. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, beef and veggie mixture, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy :-)

#3: The Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Taco

Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, we created the hamburger masterpiece! Instead of the same old boring routine of grilling hamburgers, we decided to make ours into some pretty delicious tacos :-)

What you need...

1 pound ground hamburger meat

1 2.3 oz bag of bacon pieces

1 cup of shredded cheese

1/2 cup of barbeque sauce

4 flour tortilla shells

oil

yellow mustard

Wicked Wickles (or any other type of sliced pickles)

Curly Fries (or sweet potato fries)

In a small sautee pan, cook hamburger meat. Once the meat is brown, add in barbeque sauce to moisten. Next add in bacon pieces and shredded cheese. Stir well and let simmer on the stove.

In another medium size pan, cover the bottom with oil. Once the oil has heated, fry one tortilla shell at a time- 30 seconds on each side.

Fold the fried tortilla shell into a "U" shape. Place curly fries on the bottom of the shell. Next, spoon on hamburger mixture. Top with yellow mustard and pickles. We even sprinkled a little extra cheese for gooeyness. Makes 4 large tacos!
