Taste Test Tuesday: Taco go'ins

Today's recipe uses wheat.  Cooked cracked wheat adds well to ground meats.  Like taco meat.  Simply brown the meat, then add the cooked cracked wheat along with any seasonings or veggies.
Add more or less cooked cracked wheat.  If just starting out using wheat start with only about 1/4 cup per pound of meat, then slowly increase it to even half and half or more if want.  Cooked cracked wheat has a similar size and texture as browned ground meat so it fits in nicely.

And since refried beans go well with tacos, here is a recipe for using the dried refried beans from LDS home storage centers:
These refried beans with salsa and cheese go great with tortilla chips, but also work well to add to tacos and burritos.  If you like dryer or runnier refried beans, adjust the water amount, with the amounts listed above it is just the right consistency to scoop with a chip and have it stay and not break the chip while trying to scoop.

Enjoy!
