ingredients
1 pound ground beef or pork or sausage
1 can (15 ounce size) kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa, mild or spicy
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
8 large flour tortillas
olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
Toppings
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
sour cream
sliced jalapenos
guacamole
shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet or cover it with foil.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook for 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the drained beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Lightly mash the beans a little and stir the mixture until thickened.
Lay the tortillas out on the baking sheet. Spoon some of the meat mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold in half and press down gently.
Lightly brush the tortillas with olive oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Serve garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, jalapenos, guacamole, and/or cheese.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Since you mash the beans to thicken the meat mixture, using refried beans is a great alternative. I didn't use cooking spray but rather olive oil spray (you could brush on oil as well). Very easy recipe! Warning: these are VERY filling!

I had never seen a recipe for baked soft tacos before. The kids had fun assembling them with me. We enjoyed it a lot. I used refried beans though instead of the pintos.
