Easy Southwest Fry-up

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.
