Method of Preparation


Prepare salsa by combing the diced tomatoes and Fiesta Salsa Blend. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients. Heat the Grapeseed Oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and completely cooked through. Drain if necessary. Return to the pan with black beans, corn, Taco Sauce, cumin and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese is melted. Spread prepared salsa in the bottom of a 9x9 baking dish. Stuff shells with ground beef mixture and lay on top of the salsa. Sprinkle shredded cheese over all the shells. Bake for 2-25 minutes or until completely heated through and cheese is melted. Can be served with extra Taco Sauce, scallions, and/or cilantro.

One Jar of Coconut Oil Equals 16 ...

One Jar of Coconut Oil Equals 16 Household Staples Across Three Rooms

Coconut Oil Benefits for Cooking, Beauty, and Childcare
As useful as WD40 and much more edible, coconut oil is a powerhouse. In fact, just one jar of the stuff can replace several household staples, from kitchen ingredients to baby wipes. Here’s how to substitute it for 16 total items in 3 rooms of the home:
1. Coffee: Coconut oil is a reputed energy booster. Swallowing a spoonful or two in the afternoon can be a healthful alternative to a cuppa.

2. Coffee creamer: Emulsified and poured into coffee, it’s much tastier than (and probably just as nutritious as) that bulletproof stuff.

3. Butter or oil (when sautéing): Coconut oil’s high smoke point makes it great for cooking on the stovetop, especially at high heat. Try swapping it in when making stir-fries, scrambled eggs, or pancakes, especially if you like a very mild coconut flavor.

4. Oil (when baking): The oil imparts a delicious je ne sais quoi to baked goods—even boxed ones. Use it to give from-the-box brownies an upgrade, and you’ll dream about them for days.

5. Condiments: Drop it into quinoa or oatmeal for added nutrients and healthy fats. You can also put it on top of sweet potatoes instead of butter!
