taco skillet dinner was a winner!

I wanted to use some prepped ground beef to make dinner tonight, but was tired of making the usual things. I went to Pinterest and looked through a bunch of ground beef recipes until one caught my attention. I ended up making a variation of a taco skillet dish that I found on the Taste of Home website that was somewhat like a homemade Hamburger Helper recipe. Bonus: it also helped me use up a package of frozen Mexican street corn that I had in the freezer! I mixed the browned ground beef, the Mexican street corn and its seasonings, a can of crushed tomatoes, and the remains of a jar of salsa together in a pot, added some hefty shakes of garlic salt and chili powder, simmered them together for a bit, then stirred in a handful of shredded colby jack cheese and called it done. I gave everyone the choice of rolling up the mixture in a tortilla or eating it with tortilla chips (like a dip). I diced up some avocado, pulled out some sliced black olives and sour cream, mixed up a bagged salad and put some carrot sticks and bell pepper strips on the table for veggie sides, and dinner was served. What did you eat tonight? (not my photo)
