During Christmas break, as I mentioned in another post,
my family took turns making dinner each night.
On Staci's night, she made us these super delicious Mexican Foil Dinners!
We were all in heaven! Everyone LOVED this meal.
The best part is, you can make it your own!
We each made our own foil dinner by adding what we wanted and then
when done cooking you add your own toppings!
GENIUS!
My sister-in-law is so creative!
Ingredients:
makes about 5 tin foil dinners
1 lb ground beef
1 can corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained

Toppings: salsa, diced tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream etc.

This is my new favorite GO-TO meal!
It's easy, delicious and my favorite part is the sweet potato...It adds a nice sweetness to the spicy!
