Uncle Boogie's Taco Supreme

Our family makes really good tacos.
They were a great favourite of our late friend, Stephen. We made them with most of the ingredients mixed together because Stephen was quadriplegic and it was difficult for him to hold food. These worked well for him and we still call them Uncle Boogie's Taco Supreme.

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs. ground chuck, browned and drained
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 can Rotel Mexican-style tomatoes (Do not drain)
1 can red kidney beans or black beans (drained)
taco shells
re-fried beans
favourite shredded cheeses
salsa
sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

In skillet, season and brown ground beef and drain. Add tomatoes, taco seasoning package, and beans.
Allow to simmer.
Heat re-fried beans on stove top adding one tablespoon salsa to make re-fried beans a bit creamier.
Heat taco shells.

Placing shells on plate, spread about 2 teaspoons of re-fried beans into bottom of each taco shell, then add the taco mixture, top with salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
The re-fried beans on the bottom of the shell helps hold the other ingredients together.

This also make a great nacho topping!
