Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 package (1-3/4 to 2-1/2 pounds) fully-cooked boneless beef pot roast with gravy

1 jar (16 ounces) prepared taco sauce

1 can (15 ounces) red kidney beans, drained

1- 1/2 cups frozen mixed red, yellow and green bell pepper strips, defrosted

Heat oven to 350°F. Remove beef pot roast from package. Measure 3/4 cup gravy; place in Dutch oven. (Discard any remaining gravy.) Stir in taco sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook 5 minutes or until thickened.

Cut pot roast into 1/2-inch pieces. Add beef, beans and bell peppers to Dutch oven. Heat through over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Place tortilla bowls on baking sheet. Bake in 350°F oven 3 minutes or until golden. Add cilantro to beef mixture. Serve in tortilla bowls.
