We really enjoyed this recipe. I used the black beans. While preparing this I was worried there wouldn't be enough ingredients to work with the amount of corn tortillas. But it worked out great. I have extra that is being frozen for later. I did add a few extra ingredients based on our likes. I added in some chopped onions and jalapeno with the seasoned ground beef. I served it with a side of Mexican rice. Made for a delicious meal. Thanks for posting. :) Made for Spring PAC 2011.

<p>I'm a stay at home mother of three. 7th, 8th & 11th grade. I left my corporate career 4 years ago and have LOVED being a full time homemaker. In 2004 I finished formal training in Massage Therapy and became licensed. I now have my own MT practice, which I work part-time. I founded The Lindsey Group which is comprised of other independent therapists in my area. We share office space which makes it possible for all of us to be self-employed without financial burdon of monthly office lease. My favorite things to do are cooking and gardening. Healthy diet habits are my passion and many of my recipes are in that category. But I collect and use a lot of long time favorites from my family and my church too. My family's favorites are Caribbean Chicken with Pineapple Salsa, Mexican Lasagna, and Chicken Pot Pie. When soccer keeps me from the kitchen, my family loves it when I mix up Rice and Beans Burritos, wrap them in foil and stowe them in a cooler (no ice). We enjoy them at the soccer games. Our family favorite comfort food is Saulisbury Steak, mashed potatoes and green beans (not quite in the healthy category). That's a Southern meal in anyone's book! For good nutrition, I supplement with Pure Liquid Herbs. If you have any questions about how nutritional herbs can improve your health, I'll be glad to answer you.
