Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet cook ground meat and poblano pepper over medium-high heat until meat is browned. Stir in beans, tomato sauce, salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Simmer, covered, about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in half of the broken taco shells and the green onions.
