Beef & Black Bean Tostizzas

For the second night in a row, Semi Homemade Mom was the source of our dinner tonight.



Beef & Black Bean Tostizzas

1.5 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
15oz can black beans
1 cup salsa
2 cans Pillsbury Grands rolls (Southern Style)
Shredded monterey jack or cheddar cheese

Brown the ground beef and drain off fat. Return to pan and add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat until liquid is absorbed. Cool slightly. Add salsa and drained black beans, mix well.

On ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper for easier clean up) press out each Grands roll to an approx. 4.5 inch circle. I fit four on each cookie sheet, and cooked them in two batches (two cookie sheets at a time).

Top each flattened roll with two heaping tablespoonfuls of the beef filling leaving 1/4 in. edge around. Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes or until rolls are brown on the edges and cheese is melted.

Place on wire racks to cool completely while you assemble 2nd batch of tostizzas and bake. Once cool, wrap each individually in foil and place 4 at a time in a freezer bag.

My thoughts:
My family really liked this recipe. I loved the ease of making it, and it tasted great. My daughter, who is the "Don't mess with my tacos!" type, loved it and requested it to be added to her recipe book. The toddler didn't eat his, but he wasn't hungry at all. Even the husband, who is sick with a cold, really enjoyed it. We all ate ours differently. I topped mine with chopped tomatoes, diced jalapenos and a small amount of sour cream. The husband topped his with guacamole, and the daughter ate hers as-is.

The recipe made eight (oops, I can't count) sixteen tostizzas and three large burritos. Yum, yum, yum!
