Vera Howell graciously shared this YUMMY recipe. Using wheat makes the dish healthier and you save money on meat so it's budget friendly too.
Taco Meat With Wheat
Bring to a boil 1 cup of wheat in 3 cups water, then simmer for approximately 40 min.- until wheat is tender and the water has been absorbed.
Brown 1 1/2 lbs. of hamburger
with chopped onion,
chopped bell pepper,
and 1 diced potato (optional).
Drain fat and add 1 cup of the cooked wheat and 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix with about 1 cup of water. Stir until mixed well and water is absorbed.
Serve as taco filling. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
Or serve as a "Nacho grande"- put meat filling on top of tortilla chips and top with meat filling,refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocados, (what ever your favorite topping is), etc.
