Taco Filling - Navajo Style

Taco filling:

• 0.8-1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow or white onion
• 1 can pinto beans
• 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 small can green chilies
  
• 1 T chili powder
• 1/4 t garlic powder
• 1/4 t red pepper flakes
• 1/4 t oregano
• 1/2 t paprika
• 1 t cumin
• 1 t salt
• 1 t pepper

Directions:

Brown ground beef in large sauce pan. Drain off fat. Add onions, pinto beans, green chilies. Mix seasonings together in a separate bowl, then stir into meat mixture. Simmer covered for about 10 minutes.

Toppings:

• Diced green/red pepper
• Fresh cilantro
• Shredded Lettuce
• Hot sauce
• Salsa
• Shredded cheddar cheese

Serve on Navajo tacos (I admit that I cheat by using Rhodes Rolls dough stretched to tortilla shape and fried in olive oil).
