Instructions

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and cut green pepper into ½-inch strips. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Sizzle
2

• Drizzle oil in a hot large, preferably nonstick, pan. Add beef*, green pepper, and scallion whites. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until veggies are tender and beef is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out. Stir in salsa. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. TIP: While beef cooks, move on to the next step!

Zap
3

• Meanwhile, place refried beans in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and stir. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

Serve
4

• Place guacamole in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. • Serve beef filling, tortillas, cheese, pico de gallo (draining first), scallion greens, chips, and guacamole family style with as much refried beans as you like (we used half) and let everyone build their own tacos!

Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
