Pita Filling / Taco Meat

"This is awsome with homemade pitas, which you can also find on Zaar. It really makes alot, but it saves well in the fridge and is almost better the next day for leftovers. I like this recipe because it's a good way to get my family to eat vegies. My family doesn't like summer squash, but this is also good with squash sauted in with the other vegies. Happy eating!"

directions

  • Saute carrots, celery, and onion in olive oil and set aside.
  • Brown hamburger, drain, and add fajita seasoning along with the chili and garlic powder.
  • Add water and black beans/corn.
  • Cook down for about 5-10 min and add the vegitables that were set aside earlier.
  • Remove from heat and add cooked rice and tomato.
  • Fill pita breads or tortilla shells. I've also had this wrapped in romaine after I ran out of pita bread.
  • Could top with lettuce, sour cream, or taco sauce.

  1. Made this tonight. The family really liked it. Will make it again. Makes a lot of filling so be prepared to feed lots of people or have leftovers.I would guess that there is enough for 12 half pitas filled full. I also made the home made fajitas seasoning from this site and it was great!
     
  2. This was very good. Although it was not spicy enough for my taste. Next time I will add extra spice. And boy, does that make a lot! Leaves enough left over to freeze.
     
  3. it appears simple, but this was delish! I used the homemade pita bread recipe on RZ and also the Fajita seasoning recipe since I don't stock that...so good. Thanks!
