It was super yummy!

Regular ground beef (73/27) was on sale so that's what I got instead of the 85/15 I usually use for everything. I browned 2 lbs of meat, then drained off the fat, reserving some in a little bowl to do the veggies. Added the meat back to the pan, poured in about half a cup of water, some liquid smoke, and added two packets of generic fajita seasoning. Mixed it and simmered until the seasonings were evenly distributed and the water was evaporated. Took it out of the pan with a slotted spoon and put it in a big bowl.

I added some of the reserved fat into the pan, more liquid smoke, and sauteed 1 lb of frozen bell pepper strips + about 3/4 cup frozen chopped onions. When it was tender, I put it in the bowl with the ground beef and mixed it all together.

I topped my serving with some shredded Mexican blend cheese. After I took the pic, my eating companion realized we had forgotten the sour cream so I put mine on the side.

I bought a can of "refried black beans with lime" and topped them with the same cheese. I also put some of the mango salsa on my beans. They were so good!

Avocados were on sale for 69¢. The big green wedges on my plate are each 1/4 of an avocado
