Veggie Tacos

This is one of my favorite recipes because it is so good and so easy to make. I make this without meat and cheese because it is easier and cheaper for me, but you can easily just add some ground beef and top it with cheese.

Ingredients:
* 1lb. ground beef
*cheddar or other cheese
1-2 medium potatoes
1 green or red pepper
1 medium onion
1 can beans (kidney, black, white, or chickpeas)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn
1 pkt. taco seasoning
salt
pepper
crushed red pepper flakes

If you are using meat cook it the way you like it and then follow the rest of the directions adding the other ingredients into your cooked meat. In a skillet on medium heat, grate potatoes and onion. Let them cook with some water while you dice the pepper into tiny pieces. Add them to skillet. When these are cooked through turn down heat to low and add corn, tomatoes, beans, and seasoning. If you want it to be spicy add more pepper flakes. Let is simmer on low heat until it is warmed through. If you want you can top it with the cheese.

I like to put this in a tortilla with lettuce but you can put it on top of lots of lettuce for a taco salad with some tortilla chips crushed on the top. Wither way it is really good and easy to make.
