Your kids will love this cute dish. If serving this to adults be sure to include the green chiles. I like to add a little chipotle chile, pickled jalapenos, and hot salsa to really give it some spice. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 onion, chopped |
30 ounces refried beans |
1 1/8 ounces taco seasoning mix |
1/2 cup salsa (your heat choice) |
4 ounces sliced black olives |
8 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed |
9 ounces frito corn chips (scoops) |
4 ounces chopped green chilies (optional) |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) |
sour cream (for garnish) |
sliced green onion (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan until browned.
2. Add chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add taco seasoning packet and 1/2 cup water, simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add green chiles (if using), black olives, salsa, refried beans, Velveeta cheese and cilantro (if using).
5. Simmer, and stir often until cheese is melted.
6. Ladle about 1/2-1 cup of beef mixture into the middle of a pasta or soup bowl.
7. Surround the meat mixture with the Frito Scoops to form the sunflower petals, with the ends just touching the meat mixture, to hold petals in place.
8. Garnish with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
