Healthy Tacos

1 lb. lean ground beef (96/4)

1 recipe taco seasoning or commercial taco seasoning mix

1 can fat free refried beans

3 bags Success rice, cooked and drained

2 can diced tomatoes

¼ cup chopped jalapeño peppers (I use the ones from a jar) use more if you like it really hot

Ground black pepper

1/8 cup fat free ranch dressing

Brown ground beef and add seasoning mix according to package directions.  Add one can of the tomatoes, the jalapeño peppers, and ground black pepper when the ground beef is about ¾ cooked.  Continue cooking and once ground beef is done, add the remaining ingredients (including the 1/8 cup of ranch dressing), mix well, keep on the heat for about 1 minute (just to warm everything.

Serve in toasted whole wheat pita halves, with lettuce, tomato (or Eric’s Super Tomato Salad), Salsa, and either fat free ranch dressing or fat free yogurt.
