El Pato

This is a very simple dinner that I make close to once a week. There can be many variations, so feel free to add on to my simple recipe. I use a large pan for all ingredients.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2 (7 3/4ounce) cans Mexican tomato sauce (I use El Pato sauce in the yellow can)
• 1  lb ground beef or 1  lb tofu
• 1 (16 ounce) package  of your favorite  frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce (optional to make the sauce less spicy)

Directions

1. Brown the ground beef, or make the tofu as directed on package.
2. Drain grease.
3. Add the frozen veggies and the cans of El Pato.
4. Heat on med to high heat until the veggies are cooked. The sauce may be thin, and you can heat or let stand as long as you want.
5. Garnish with sour cream and/or cheese.
6. Serve with flour tortillas or tortilla chips.
