This is one that I discovered one day while rummaging through the bare cupboards when there was still 2 days until payday. I dug the hamburg out of the freezer and tossed what I had together in the frying pan. I got it cooked up and I thought, " Hey! This ain't so bad!"
The next time I did it, I started with fresh ground beef, and realized that I got it done in a pretty short time, and I had some cheese to put on it which really made it good for me. I recommend using the medium or the hot salsa because they tend to lose a little heat in the cooking, if you're scared to go for the hot, it's ok too. Taste is an individual thing. We can't all have cajun tastebuds!
Ingredients:
1 pound Ground beef 80% lean
1 11 oz can southwest style corn
1 medium onion coarsely chopped
1 16 oz jar salsa (Medium or Hot recommended)
3 slices american cheese OR 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar (Optional)
Directions:
In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and onions until completely cooked ( no pink meat left)
Add corn and salsa, mix well
Stir-fry until all is heated through.
Layer on plate with cheese.
EAT IT!!!
After thoughts:
This makes a GREAT taco filling with some shredded lettuce and tomato.
Can be garnished with sour cream, for a little better nutrition use plain Yogurt as a substitute for the sour cream.
Also makes a great topper for Taco Salad.

This is very similar to the "Navajo Taco" of the American South West. Which, you know, that's where I live. Anyhow, the biggest difference here, is the serving. A Navajo Taco, is a very similar mix served on a round flat bread with taco style garnishes.
The quick way is to use a tube of buttermilk biscuits, and roll them out a little, about saucer size, then fry in olive oil until lightly browned on each side. Place your filling on the "flat bread" and then top with your favorite garnishes.
This also makes great leftovers! Simply store the mix, bread, and garnishes apart. Warm the bread a little, then heat your filling, then add cold garnishes!
