Taco Pocket

I love this meal. I got the idea from the Rachael Ray Show but I made it my own by not doing exactly what she did. It was only my second time to make it but it turned out so great tonight!

Taco Pockets 

1 lb. Ground Meat

1 Taco Seasoning Packet

Shredded Cheese

1 Small Onion

1 Medium Tomato

Hot Sauce

Balsamic Vinegar

4 Tortillas

--Put Ground Meat and contents from Taco Seasoning in a bowl. With you hands (I use gloves) make sure seasoning is well mixed into the meat.

--Divide into 4 sections and from those section make 4 patties. Grill to liking.

--Cut onion into thin pieces and then place in a pan with about 1/2 table spoon butter. While sauteing add several dashes of Balsamic Vinegar. 

--Warm tortillas in oven on low setting while food is cooking. 

--Once the meat is cooked take a patty and place it in the center of a tortilla.

--Then add cheese, tomato, onion, hot sauce. If their are more topping add them as you like.

--Then fold the tortilla. Fold in front and back sides and then the left and right sides. It should look somewhat like a square. 

--Once folded turn over and cut at a diagonal. 

This is so easy not too many components. I put on tons of hot suace and I love that it doesn't ever drip because it is in a pocket. It is a new fun way to make a Mexican flavored meal. 

You could also try it with many other topping and flavors if you are wanting something other than Mexican. 

Fajitas

Mexican food is one of my favorites. Growing up in Texas I had a lot to choose from. I didn't get my weekend edition of Fajitas so I made some the other night and they turned out wonderful and were so easy.

Cara's Fajitas

1 red bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

1 onion

1 lb flat iron steak

1 packet fajita seasoning

Dash of soy sauce

Tortillas

Cheese

Sour Cream

Thinly slice the green and red bell peppers along with the onion ( I used 2/3 of the onion). Then place all in a well greased skillet.

Thinly slice the meat and also place in skillet.

I then put a dash of soy sauce and the packet of fajita seasoning. 

Mix all together and cook until meat is cook through. I had my stove at a Med. High.

Then serve on a warm flour tortilla. I garnished with cheese and sour cream.

I served mexican rice and refried beans along side. 

It was a great mexican restaurant quality meal right at home, and it wasn't expensive. 

Bon Appetite
