Ingredients

1 pound ground Certified Hereford Beef
1 jar (16 ounces) thick-and-chunky salsa
3/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed, drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
7 small whole wheat tortillas (6 to 7-inch diameter)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

• Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove drippings.
• Stir in salsa, beans and cumin. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through and most of liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 tortillas in single layer on pan. Spoon generous 1/2 cup beef mixture on each tortilla; sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Repeat layering of tortillas, beef mixture and cheese twice. Sprinkle remaining cheese over tops of tortilla towers. Cut 8 small stars from remaining tortilla with cookie cutter; arrange on towers. Bake in 350°F oven 12 to 15 minutes or until heated through and cheese melts.
• Cut each tortilla tower into 4 wedges. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve with fruit salsa.
