1. Heat oven to 350°F. Remove beef pot roast from package; set
aside. Measure ¾ cup of the gravy and place in Dutch oven; discard any
remaining gravy or reserve for other use. Stir in taco sauce; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, uncovered, 5 minutes or until liquid is
thickened.
2. Meanwhile cut pot roast into ½ -inch pieces. Add beef,
beans and bell peppers to Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or
until heated through, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile place tortilla bowls on baking sheet. Bake in
350°F oven 3 minutes or until heated through. Add chopped cilantro to beef
mixture; spoon into tortilla bowls. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
Serve immediately.
Cook's Tip: Pre-baked
tortilla bowls are usually found in the ethnic food section of the supermarket.
The bowls should be about 6 to 7-inches in diameter x 2 to 2 ½ -inches deep. If
pre-baked tortilla bowls are not available, salad shells (4 to a package),
found in the refrigerated food section may be used, or recipe may be served
over tortilla chips.
Note: The amount of gravy
in fully-cooked pot roast products varies. If your package does not contain ¾
cup, make up the difference with beef broth or water.
