Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 ounce (1 packet) taco seasoning (I used Old El Paso taco seasoning)
• 1 cup salsa (I used Arriba Fire Roasted Salsa in medium)
• 1 cup water
• 4 ounces (1 can) chopped green chiles
• 15 ounces (1 can) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 flour tortillas
• 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese (divided)

Recipe Notes

• Try this recipe with ground chicken or ground turkey.

• You can use mild, medium or hot salsa, depending on your preference.

• You could add some fresh chopped cilantro to the recipe.

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet until meat is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
   
2. Add the taco seasoning, water, salsa and green chiles. Cook about 3 minutes.
   
3. Cut the flour tortillas into strips.
   
4. Add the beans, tortilla strips and 1 cup of the cheese.
   
5. Stir until the cheese melts. You can serve immediately or pop it under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese and slightly brown the top. (I broiled mine, but it would be fine to skip this step.)
   
6. Serve with desired toppings.
