I saw this recipe on the WhatsInTheFridge mailing list (and I would have linked to the specific post, but it seems that archives are only viewable by subscribers).
Mexican Muffins
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 pkg. (1 1/4 oz.) Taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 c. water
- 5 English muffins, split
- 1 c. grated Cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
Preparation
Brown beef; drain well. Add seasoning mix and water; simmer 15 minutes or until lliquid is absorbed. Place muffins on baking sheet; top with meat mixture. Sprinkle cheese evenly over tops. Bake at 350° F., 10 minutes or until heated through.
Serves 5.
Note: For a Mexican hamburger, substitute hamburger buns for the muffins. Do not bake.
At first, the idea of a Mexicanized English-muffin seemed a bit odd to me, but I think I’ve warmed up to the idea. Of course, I’m now also contemplating whether guacamole & sour cream would improve the dish or if that would overdo it ;).
Guacamole and sour cream NEVER improve anything.
