Taco Friday

Tonight, we had tacos for dinner.  Taco meat is super easy to make and it freezes really well!  Ground beef was on sale at Publix so I picked up 3 lbs.  After cooking and mixing in the taco seasoning, I added a few cans of refried beans (one can per pound of meat).  Not only does this stretch the meat a bit, but it makes for a slightly more nutritious taco. ;)  We had enough to eat for dinner and I filled two quart-sized freezer bags with meat for two more dinners!  
The tortillas were BOGO so I couldn't pass up getting two bags.  However, that means we now have 20 tortilla shells and we'll never eat all of those before they spoil.  I divided the bags into sets of five tortillas and flash froze them between sheets of Glad Cling Wrap.  I've never frozen tortillas before.  Here's hoping they thaw well!

I spent $40 on ingredients for the tacos and made enough to feed three people three times (including taco toppings and sides)...$4.44 per person.  Not too bad!
