Preparation

Warm taco shells in oven for a few minutes (warm shells will crack less easily), or buy soft tacos. Each one prepares own taco. Fill taco shell with Spicy Beef Stuffing and top with salsa, tomato, Canadian Monterey Jack cheese and lettuce.

Spicy Beef Stuffing:

In large saucepan, brown beef in own juice while stirring. Add salt and pepper and chopped onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 2 more minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 20 minutes while stirring, or until mixture is almost dry.

Serve as stuffing for tacos, burritos and enchiladas.
