My Most Requested Dish

This is by far the most requested dish in my house. We like it spicy so adjust if you prefer things a bit more mild. I prefer to use all fresh and organic items and yes - I really do cook the beans myself!



Lisa's Mexican Medley


1 pound lean ground beef (you may also use ground turkey)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
6 tomatillos - diced
6 ounces diced green chilies
2 jalapenos - diced and seeds removed
2 cups cooked black beans - drained and rinsed
1/2 cup water or chicken broth
8 corn tortillas
4 tomatoes - diced
2 avocados - sliced
fresh cilantro
sour cream

Place ground beef in a skillet, season with cayenne, paprika, chili powder, cumin, sea salt and white pepper and cook over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Be sure to drain any excess fat.

Next add the diced tomatillos, green chilies, jalapenos, cooked black beans and 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth to the skillet, mix gently and simmer 10 minutes.

Spoon mixture over a warm corn tortilla and top with a scoop of sour cream, fresh cilantro, diced tomato and sliced avocado.

Enjoy!
