Being single, I often halve this recipe to yield a meal for one plus a lunch I can take to work. When co-workers remark on how good it looks, I ask them over to try it, then pass along the recipe. It's hot but not overpowering. -Terri Nelson, Warren, Minnesota Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground turkey or beef |
2 tablespoons taco seasoning |
1/3 cup water |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 to 2 anaheim or poblano chilies, roasted, peeled and finely chopped or 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
4 flour tortillas (8 inches) |
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese, divided |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
