MEXICAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Mexican Beef Stir-Fry image

This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

1 cup cooked black beans (if from a can then drain and rinse first)
1/2 cup canned diced tomato
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup cooked brown rice
hot sauce (optional)
salt

Steps:

  • * The leftover tomatoes can be frozen in one or two small tupperware to be used later.
