Mama's Tacos

I've made my own tacos for many years. I do things a little differently than some though. Tonight I'll share my method. You'll need the following:

half a head of fresh lettuce
2 medium tomatoes
shredded cheese (I like cheddars or combination cheeses)
sour cream
1-2 lbs hamburger
1-2 packets taco seasoning
Fajita sized wheat wraps
1 can re-fried beans

Cook the hamburger completely and drain off excess grease. Add 2/3 C water for each packet of seasoning mixture. If cooking 2 lbs of meat, use 2 packets seasoning. Cook on medium until the mixture thickens and most of the water is boiled off, then add the beans and mix well. Chop tomatoes and thinly slice the lettuce. Place a wrap then add a line of meat mix leaving about a 2 inch space to one side. Top with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, lettuce, and taco sauce (optional). Then fold up the end you'd left bare and fold in both sides. This gives a drip-free grip on the whole thing.

Enjoy!
