A couple years ago I gave out quart jars of homemade Taco Soup with this tag tied on. (sorry I didn’t want to make taco soup just for a photo! Imagine a jar full of yummy soup!) You could include tortilla chips.
My taco soup recipe is as follows:
1 lb. hamburger
1 med. onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
– Combine, brown and drain.
In large (5 qt) pot combine the following:
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can pinto beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 lg can diced, stewed tomatoes
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 pkg Taco Seasoning Mix
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
Add in meat mixture and water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for an hour. (Or, keep the water to a minimum and put it in the crock pot for all day.)
Serve over tortilla chips (or tamales). Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheeses, cubed avocado … or all three!
Cost is relatively cheap – quart jars, ribbon and then tortilla chips, if desired.
(oh… I delivered them warm and made sure to tell them they weren’t canned (processed), so they did need to be refrigerated until being eaten.)
