WW HEALTHY BEEF-AND-BEAN TACOS
This is a great recipe out of my Weight Watchers "Take-Out Tonight!" cookbook. This also makes an excellent dip for veggies or baked tortillas. This has 6 points per serving, I also like to add in some 0 point things like salsa, pickled jalapenos and cilantro. DH who isn't watching points likes to throw on some shredded cheese. :)

BEEF & BEAN -- OVEN TACOS
Tacos. We love tacos. The kids devour them. They love the crunchy mess. They love the flavors. They love to see how full they can make them. And they love to eat them on their special taco plates. (My mom gave us some for Christmas...GREAT gift!) I love the concept of making tacos in the oven...and melting the cheese over the top of the meat. Then piling on the toppings. I doubled up the beef-bean taco meat and stashed the other half in the freezer...I'm thinking about using it for stuffed peppers. Or another taco night. Or enchiladas. We'll see what kind of inspiration strikes (and what other ingredients I have on hand!) when I pull it out of the freezer in the near future. Below is the "doubled version" recipe for the taco meat. Half it, if you want just for this dinner. Make recipe as is, if you want to freeze some. Or if you have a large family. Or are feeding a lot of boys. You get the picture.

BEEF BRISKET TACOS
Birthday parties back home were big gatherings of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and anyone else we considered family. As soon as guests arrived, hot pans of shredded brisket, or carne deshebrada, appeared, along with frijoles, tostadas, salsas and huge bowls of salad. Brisket was the dish we always counted on because it could be made in the oven or a slow cooker. -Yvette Marquez, Littleton, Colorado Muy Bueno Recipes + Stories
