This recipe came out of me being creative with making pieces of meals ahead of time, freezing them, and coming back to them later. The base for this is an enhanced taco meat.

Taco Meat

2 lbs ground buffalo (or ultralean ground beef or ground turkey)
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes w/ garlic & onion
1 can red kidney beans, drained

Brown ground meat & drain fat. Remove from pan. Saute onions and garlic until they sweat. Because of the ground meat you won't need to add any oil at all to the pan. Once this is done, add back the meat. Add taco seasoning, chili powder, 1/2 c water, tomatoes (do not drain) and beans. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

Makes 8 servings (4 pts each).

This is great over salad, or over baked potato... or on pizza.

Taco Pizza

1 pizza shell from Hannaford (120 cal per 1/3 shell)
1 serving taco meat
2 oz shredded montery jack cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread taco meat over pizza shell. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Makes 4 servings of 4 points each.
