• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 unit Scallions

1 unit Black Beans

1 unit Tex-Mex Paste

½ cup Mexican Cheese Blend

6 unit Flour Tortillas

1 unit Long Green Pepper

1 tablespoon Southwest Spice Blend

½ cup Cheddar Cheese

2 tablespoon Smoky Red Pepper Crema

Cooking Oil

10 ounce Ground Beef

Salt

Pepper

Directions

• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, deseed, and thinly slice green pepper crosswise into strips. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. **Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add beef* or turkey*; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.**

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. TIP: If needed, add a splash of water to help green pepper soften. **Add green pepper to pan with beef or turkey (skip the oil); cook through this step as instructed.**

• While green pepper cooks, drain and rinse beans. • Once green pepper is softened, stir in scallion whites and 2 tsp Southwest Spice Blend (4 tsp for 4 servings). (Be sure to measure the Southwest Spice Blend—we sent more.) Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add beans, Tex-Mex paste, and 1⁄4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until filling has combined and thickened, 2-3 minutes.

• Sprinkle bean filling with cheddar and Mexican cheese blend. Cover pan until cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Divide tortillas between plates and fill with bean filling, smoky red pepper crema, and scallion greens. Serve. ***Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160º.***
