What's for dinner tonight

I'm making homemade tacos for dinner tonight. Something that the whole family loves!


Ingrediants:
3/4lb ground sirloin $2 (i picked up 1.5lbs for $4, so i split it up for 2 meals)
1 can black beans .90
1/2 4.5oz can of green chilies .42
1/2 an onion .25
1 bell pepper .50
1 packet taco seasoning .40
1/2 can refried beans .50
1 package whole wheat tortillas 1.25
sour cream free
lettuce .25
cheese .35

Total 6.82 For our taco dinner.


Directions:
chop onions and bell pepper as small or big as you like. Brown your beef, onions,green chilies and bell pepper. Once they are cooked drain and add taco packet according to the directions. Once it is done smash up the black beans and add it to the pan. Cook until heated through. Your taco meat is done now!

Warm your tortillas, spread with refried beans, taco meat and top with sour cream lettuce and cheese. (tomatoes if you like, we just don't like them)

This is enough to feed a family of 5 twice!
So really it's only 3.41 per meal!


You can also do a side of rice with it or add any other topping you like!
What changes would you make?
