My family loves tacos and there are so many ways to make the meat mixture. I was going through some old recipe booklets my mother sent me and came across this recipe. I never used pinto beans in my taco meat mixture before or soup so I had to try this recipe out. My family really loved the flavor and the tacos were a huge hit! Hope your family enjoys these tacos as much as my family did.

How To Make beef & bean tacos

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; now drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, Mexicorn, soup, water and chili powder.

Step 2

Bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, for about 5 minutes. Follow pkg directions on the box of your taco shells.
Step 3

Spoon beef mixture into taco shells, serve with toppings of your choice.
Step 4

**** I had some beef mixture left over, I froze it for later use. This beef mixture can be used for burritos or on nacho chips and excellent for a taco salad. My family enjoyed the tacos with tater tots. Filling and so delicious.
Step 5

Note: I made meat mixture in my skillet on medium heat. Baked the taco shells for 7 minutes in the oven.
