We caught an episode of Sam the Cooking Guy the other day. I know! I know! Chili-man actually WATCHED a cooking show with me! And Sam made some ‘quick’ tortilla soup. He wasn’t very frugal. I would have at least used the chicken broth to rinse out ALL the salsa from the jar….. Anyhow, Chili-man said that he’d wondered what tortilla soup was and now he knew. Said it sounded pretty good!
SHOCKER!
I thought I knew what he’d eat and what he wouldn’t! So I made him THIS version!
Taco Stew - Okie Style
2 lbs lean hamburger
2 cans pinto beans
1 can black beans
2 cans corn
1 onion (chopped)
1 heaping T taco seasoning
2 8oz cans of tomato sauce
3 cans mexican style tomatoes
1 can Rotel
2 cups water
cheese
Brown the beef with the onion is a big old chili pot. Pour in the tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Add everything else (well except the cheese). If it’s a little thick add the water, otherwise ‘fergetaboutit’. Simmer on the back of the stove for a couple of hours OR put it all in a crockpot.
Right before dinnertime, take a couple of flour tortillas and brown them, either in a hot oven or a hot skillet. Then slice into 1/2 wide slivers.
Just before serving toss in the tortilla strips. Top with the shredded cheese (come dinnertime) and serve.
Yee haw it’s great
