This recipe originally called for hamburger, but tonight I tried it without the meat and substituted pinto beans. I'll give the directions for either option.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef OR 2 cans pinto beans and a TBSP canola oil
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
3 6 oz. cans water
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/4 onion powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 cup rice, cooked
corn chips
Toppings:
avocado
grated cheese
tomatoes
lettuce
black olives
green onions
sour cream
taco sauce or salsa
Directions:
Brown ground beef in large skillet,
OR heat oil in pan and add drained, rinsed pinto beans.
To meat OR beans, add:
tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
Simmer for 30 minutes, then stir in 1 cup cooked rice.
Serve with tortilla chips and toppings.

This sounds way good. I do have a question though... where the recipe calls for cans of water... is that accurate?
Hey Elizabeth,
The recipe does call for 3 6oz cans of water - you just use the empty tomato paste can. I'm sure there is another way to measure the water, but I haven't taken the time to figure it out. The tomato mixture does start out really soupy, but after simmering for 30 minutes and adding the rice it's much thicker.
