Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan cook ground beef and garlic until beef is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in beans, 1 cup salsa, and thawed corn. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a very large bowl combine lettuce, tomatoes, sweet pepper, and green onions. To serve, divide lettuce mixture among the shells. Top each serving with some of the meat mixture and avocado. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, serve with sour cream and additional salsa.

Tortilla Shells:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush one side of six 9-10 inch flour tortillas with vegetable oil or lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Coat six small oven-safe bowls with nonstick cooking spray. Press tortillas, coated sides up, into prepared bowls; place a ball of foil in each tortilla cup. Bake about 15 minutes or until light brown. Remove foil; let cool. Remove cups from bowls. Serve immediately or store in airtight container for up to 5 days.
