  • 1 (16 ounce) fat free refried black beans, heated (optional)
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onion, sliced
  • 14 head cabbage or 1/4 head lettuce, sliced thinly

directions

  • Spray oil a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Add bag of potatoes and bell pepper and toss with seasonings.
  • Put lid on and cook for about 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until heated through.
  • Remove lid, sprinkle with lemon juice and pan-fry for a few more minutes.
  • In the meantime, chop up toppings and lay out on a platter and bowls on the table.
  • Heat Tortillas in desired method. We heat them over the gas stove flame until they get some brown spots. You could also fry them, if desired. Lay in a tortilla warmer or plate and place on table.
  • Place prepared potatoes in a bowl alongside other choices and everyone can build their own tacos. Enjoy!
  • We had some without beans and some with beans smeared on the tortilla and then the potatoes and other toppings over them. Yummy both ways.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
