PICADILLO

1 lb ground beef
1 cup refried beans
1 cup hashbrowns with onions and bell peppers
1 T margarine / 1/4 cup water
1t salt/ 1/2 t pepper
2 T picante sauce

Brown beef in skillet. In a separate pan, cook hashbrowns in margarine. When brown add water, salt and pepper. Once water disappears, let brown for about 2 more minutes. Add beans, hashbrowns, and picante sauce to browned beef. Stir well, cover and simmer 5 more minutes. Serve on corn or flour tortillas with cheese for tacos, or serve as a dip with tortilla chips. I also use this for great nachos. Place mixture on chips, sprinkle with cheese and bake in oven or microwave only until cheese melts.
