I Know that most people are going to say what this sounds odd but it is really tasty.  Last night my hubby and I were thinking of something to do for dinner and came up with this idea.  Use leftovers from when you make beef and salsa burritos and instead of tortillas use a pizza crust.  The pizza crust can be your choice of homemade or frozen whichever is easier for you

Ingredients

1 pizza crust

1 pkg of mexican style shredded cheese

leftover beef and salsa mixture

prepare your pizza crust and top with the beef and salsa mixture and cheese.  Place in a 425 oven for 15 minutes or until done time may vary with your oven.  Let cool for a few minutes and then slice and serve.

About 14 years ago my husband and I discovered a recipe for beef and Salsa burritos.   I always tweak a recipe to mine and my husbands taste.  One day when I did not have enough ground beef I decided that I would try it with half ground beef and half sausage.   It turned out to be a good idea as it is one of my hubby’s favorite dishes.    Below is my version.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. lean ground beef

1/2 lb hot sausage

1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well-drained
1 cup prepared chunky salsa
3/4 cup shredded Mexican four cheese blend
8 medium flour tortillas,warmed

Directions:

In a large non-stick skillet, brown ground beef  and sausage over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings. Season beef with chili powder,and cumin,  Stir in spinach and salsa; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
To serve, spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling; fold sides to center, overlapping edges.

Makes 8 burritos.

1 lb. ground beef
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup
8 cups salad greens torn in bite-size pieces
2 cups tortilla chips
chopped tomato
Sliced green onion
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Sliced pitted ripe olives (optional)

COOK beef and chili powder in skillet until browned. Pour off fat. ADD soup and heat through. PLACE salad greens and chips on platter. Spoon meat mixture over salad greens. Top with tomato, onions, cheese and olives.
