Taco Meat and Bean Ingredients

Ingredients to make taco beef and refried beans
  • Pinto Bean Seasoning – If you’ve never tried Pinto Bean Seasoning, it’s a must-have in your spice rack. It’s a bit salty so use it sparingly. It’s an amazing flavor enhancement to any recipe using beans.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • While pre-shredded cheese is a convenience, I highly recommend buying a block of cheese and grating it yourself. The taste is creamier and the texture is smooth and silky.
  • This is a great recipe to prep ahead of time and assemble when ready to serve. Make the meat and beans up to 2 days in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Bring them to room temperature before assembling the platter. Dice the tomatoes and olives and shred the lettuce and cheese ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator in zip-top baggies.
  • I like to buy pre-made guacamole in single-serving packages for recipes like this where I do not need a large amount. I store them in the freezer and take them out an hour before I need them to thaw at room temperature.
