It’s been a few busy days of not cooking due to a full septic tank. Even today I was on my roof with a hose stuck in a vent pipe after filling in a very large hole with a shovel and my bad back.
Which means I didn’t have time to make the quick pickled cabbage topping I wanted for this taco made from both beef and black beans. I was going to try this mix as a way to stretch ground beef. I found the results to be totally worth repeating.
One pound of browned ground beef to one can of drained/rinsed black beans added after the 5 tsp* of homemade taco seasoning is cooked into the browned ground beef.
After two days of corporate food this tasted amazing.
- Or just one tablespoon if you are from “mayo is spicy land.”
My sympathies for your septic issues; three winters ago ours backed up (needed the weeping tile replaced, etc), and we were without for 6 mos. Shitty winter, needless to say.
Anyway, the nosh looks great, and I have wraps, so I might go texmex for dinner…
I replaced the septic system 7 years ago when the one that came with the house failed after a few months. Fortunately I was able to get it completely replaced in just 24 hours. Haven’t had the money to get it pumped in the last two years. So it didn’t give us a choice. I’ll recover in a day or two from digging a three foot deep hole to access the cover so that they didn’t charge us for digging it out. But the pumping cost will take much longer to recover from.
Still working on unclogging the vent.
Looks delicious! Did you make the shells too, and if so, how, because they look great!?
Standard store bought corn tortillas that I pan fried in peanut oil.
