I came up with this for lunch today. It isn't exactly figure friendly but it sure is good!! Serve with taco chips or beans or any side you wish.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 potato, peeled and chopped (1/2-inch squares, like homefries)
2 cups vegetable oil or 2 cups canola oil
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (tony chachere's is my favorite)
1 cup cheddar cheese or 1 cup mexican blend cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. Heat oil to medium high heat and fry potato pieces until crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, like homefries. Drain on a paper towel.
2. Meanwhile, in a seperate skillet, brown ground beef until done through. Drain well.
3. Return beef to skillet and add water, chili powder, cumin and cajun seasoning. Stir to make a taco sauce.
4. Add potatoes and stir until sauce coats potatoes.
5. Add cheese and stir until melted. Serve immediately.
