QUICK MEXICAN MEAL 
1 lb. ground chuck (or 1/2 chuck, 1/2 turkey)
1 pkg. dry taco seasoning
Grated cheese
Picante sauce
1 can refried beans (Ortega or Old Paso)
Taco chips (any brand)

Optional: shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomato.

Brown meat. Add taco mix and water (directions on side of taco package). Heat up refried beans. You are now ready to layer. Use a big pyrex type dish. Layer meat, then cheese, refried beans, a more generous layer of cheese. Line the side of the dish with chips. Heat in microwave for 3 or 4 minutes or heat in oven at 325 degrees for about 8 minutes. At this point you can put on the shredded lettuce and top with diced tomatoes. Pour picante sauce over the top and top with a tablespoon of sour cream. Enjoy!

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
