With Southwestern-Flavored Ground Beef, you can simultaneously make tonight’s dinner and tomorrow’s lunch. Just save out and refrigerate some of the taco meat and fixings such as shredded cheese and lettuce, plus chopped scallions and tomatoes. A good-looking salad like this will draw potential lunch traders. More likely than not, they’ll be out of luck.
