Tex-Mex (Texan-Mexican) is a cuisine derived from the Tejano people of Texas, living on the border of Mexico, and is characterized by shredded cheese such as cheddar, jack and pimento, beans, meat, spices and flour tortillas.
This recipe is great for a family-style meal, where everyone can "build" their own taco with guacamole, salsa, cheese, meat or crumbled tofu. The combination of beans and meat is for both nutrition and flavor- as beans add fiber and protein without the less healthy fats found in meat. You may wish to serve this with rice and lime wedges, as well.
