Since I keep browned ground beef in the freezer, this one is easy for one of my boys to make for dinner.
1 lb lean ground beef
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1 envelope (1/4 cup bulk) taco seasoning
1 4-oz. can diced green chiles, drained
1 cup milk
1 cup Bisquick
2 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese
Garnish: chopped tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce
In large skillet, cook and stir ground beef and onion until beef is browned; drain. Combine beef with taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water. Cook for a few minutes, then spread mixture in 10-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with diced green chiles.
Beat milk, Bisquick, and eggs until smooth. Pour over beef mixture. Bake at 400F for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese. Bake until golden brown 8-10 minutes. Top with chopped tomatoes, sour cream and lettuce.

Lincoln Town Car of Burritos
Posted by Susan in the Boonies on SL
Bean Burritos
Gourmet Today Cookbook
Makes 6 burritos
Full of beans, pepper Jack, and one of our very favorite condiments - quick Mexican pickled onions - these burritos are outrageously good. Panfrying melts the cheese and crisps the outside of the tortillas.
For Pickled Onions
2 c. water
3 T. red wine vinegar
2 T. sugar
1 medium red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
For Bean Filling
3 T. vegetable oil
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 14 to 15 oz. cans pinto or black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 c. water
3 scallions, finely chopped
For Assembling and Cooking Burritos:
6 (8- to 10-inch) flour tortillas
2 c. coarsely grated pepper Jack cheese (about 8 oz.)
1/3 c. finely choped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 T. vegetable oil
Accompaniments: salsa and sour cream
Prepare the Onions:
Bring water, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a 1 qt. heavy saucepan. Add onion and simmer, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature.
Make the Bean Filling:
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Stir in beans, coarsely mashing them with a potato masher or a large fork until combined. Add water and scallions and cook, stirring, until most of water ins absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Burritos:
Spread one sixth of bean filling across middle of 1 tortilla, leaving a 1" border at either end. Sprinkle with 1/3 c. cheese, 1 heaping T. pickled onions, and scant 1 T. cilantro. Fold ends of tortilla over filling, then roll up tightly, enclosing filling. Transfer seam side down to a plate and assemble 5 more burritos in same manner.
Cook the Burritos:
Heat 1 1/2 t. oil in a 10- to 11-inch cast-iron or other heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 2 burritos, seam side down and fry until lightly browned on underside, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, turn over and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, then transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Fry remaining 4 burritos in 2 batches in remaining oil in same manner.
Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Taco Style Lentils and Rice
From Hillbillyhousewife.com. My boys actually will eat lentils when I serve them this way!
3/4 cup dry lentils
3/4 cup brown rice
4 cups tap water
4 beef bouillon cubes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
In a 2-quart saucepan bring the water to a boil. As the water is heating, add the lentils, rice, bouillon, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic powder. Bring the whole thing to a nice fat boil. Reduce the heat to low. Place a lid on the lentils and allow the mixture to simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes. The water should be mostly absorbed. You may serve this as it, topped with a little cheddar cheese if desired. Or you can use it to fill burritos or tacos instead.
If you have never tried lentils and are looking for a way to make them acceptable to the kids, this one is a good bet. Our favorite way to eat it is as a taco filling. If you are having a busy day and don’t have time to cook this on the stove, it can cook in the crock pot on low for about 6 to 8 hours instead. I’ve never cooked it on high, so I’m not sure how quickly it would cook that way. I suspect about 3 hours would be enough.
