GROUND BEEF MEXI WRAPS
These are fast, cheap and easy. My family inhaled these. This is based on a recipe I saw prepared on Calling all Cooks years ago, with qute a few of my own changes. I use Habanero Lime Hot Salsa in this, but any level of heat that you desire is fine. I have used Emeril's Southwest seasoning, and also Tastefully Simple's Fiesta seasoning in these before, both turned out well. Seasonings measurements are really to taste, I had to give measurements for the computer, but feel free to adjust to your saltiness and spiciness preferences.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Brown beef with garlic, salt, pepper,and some southwest seasoning to taste and brown for approximately 9 minutes or until cooked through; drain fat.
- Unroll first package of crescent rolls, pressing together seams.
- Separate into 6 individual squares (do not separate into triangles) and place onto a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each square.
- Lay one chile on each of the crescent roll squares, cut sides up.
- Top each chile with some of the meat mixture, some cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and some chopped onions.
- Open the second pack of crescent rolls and make another 6 sqaures as before, then place a square piece over each of the wraps, no need to seal edges.
- Top each wrap with another sprinkling of cheese.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until the top has melted and is just slightly golden brown (check early a different brands of crescent rolls may cook a bit faster or slower). Garnish with sour cream, scallions, cilantro, olives, more raw onions, and more salsa as desired.
LETTUCE LEAF TACOS
For those on a low-carb kick that love Mexican but dread all the beans and bread, try this alternative for taco night. It uses lettuce leaves instead of taco shells to make a dish that's halfway between a lettuce wrap and a taco. Low on carbs and still delicious!
