Cream Tacos

If ever there was a recipe that my Mom was famous for- this would be it. Anytime we had a big get together Mom always served Cream Tacos. Super simple yet always a crowd pleaser. Plus it is very easy to double or even triple the recipe so it is a great dish to make for a large number of people. (Maybe I should have stuck with this recipe for the recipe exchange party... oh well) The recipe below is my much healthier modified version of the original:

Cream Tacos

1 lb ground sirloin
1 lb 2% Velveeta
1 can rotel
1-2 cans chili beans (I use 2 cans- but I likee some beans)
1/2 package of chili seasoning
1 cup Fat Free half and half or skim milk

Fixens
Baked Chips
shredded lettuce
tomatoes or salsa
jalapeno peppers
low fat sour cream

Directions:
Brown Beef and drain fat. Stir beef, rotel, beans, chili seasoning into crockpot or stovetop or even microwave safe bowl. Cut Velveeta into cubes and stir into beef mixture. Heat mixture in crockpot, stovetop, or microwave until cheese is melted. Stir often! 10 minutes before serving stir in cream or milk. Serve over chips and with desired toppings. YUM YUM!

Nutrition Information:
Serving Size: 1/8th of recipe- used 2 cans beans (not including fixens) could probably easily do 1/10th of recipe for less calories
Meal Plan: 335 Calories; 4 meats, 1.25 starch, 1 fat
