I’ve never made guacamole, or had leftover avocado, that didn’t turn brown (despite using lemon juice to prevent it). Serve with chips, tacos, burritos, or eat it over a grilled steak!

Add Beans to Taco Meat. I make tacos quite a bit and one way to stretch the meat further is to add a can of black beans. After browning the meat, add your taco seasoning, water, and a can of black beans that you’ve drained and rinsed. This will add extra servings to your taco meat for less than $1.
