These recipes come from the October 2008 issue of Family Fun. We only had the chicken tacos, but I was so impressed with those, that we will definitely try the ground beef filling, so I’ve included the recipe here.

- 3 1/2 c. cooked and shredded chicken
- Tortillas, salsa, guacamole etc.
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chili and saute until onion has softened, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, cumin and salt and cook for one more minute.
