This was super quick and easy to make, so it was perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. I doubled the spices for the meat and also added some cumin and black pepper. Instead of the kidney beans, I used refried beans to which I added some salsa. I put the refried beans on the tortilla first, followed by the meat mixture, the vegetables, 4-cheese Mexican blend, sour cream and taco sauce...yum!

This was very nice for dinner tonight. I also made a few changes with what I had on hand. I thought the meat needed a little something extra so added a tablespoon of taco seasoning. I didn't heat the beans. I, like SusieD, sprayed the wheat tortillas with cooking spray and baked them at 450 for about 6 minutes. That seemed to work well. And for the sour cream and taco sauce, I mixed them together to make a nice dressing. Very nice. Thanks and Congratulation on your football win last week.
