MEXICAN SURPRISE
A psuedo Mexican dish that reminds me of an inside-out taco



INGREDIENTS

1               Spanish Onion, chopped
1 lb.          Hamburger (or 1/2 lb hamburger, 1/2 lb ground sausage)
1 can         Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
1 can         Pinto Beans, drained and rinsed
1 lg can      Tomato Paste
1 sm can    Tomato Paste
1 lg can      Tomato Sauce
1 sm can    Tomato Sauce
2 tbs          Worcestorshire Sauce
4 tbs           Prepared mustard
Chili powder and hot sauce to taste
1 bag          Large corn chips



In a buttered pan, sweat the chopped onion.  When translucent, add the hamburger and brown.  Pour off excess fat.  Add kidney beans, pinto beans, tomat paste, tomatosauce, worcestorshire sauce, mustard, chili powder and hot sauce.  If you like it extra hot, add a chopped jalepeno pepper or two.  Cover pan and simmer, stirring occasionally.

When done, create a buffet.  First, cover your plate with corn chips.  Then add gobs of the meat sauce.  Finally, cover with your choice of garnishes from the list below.


GARNISHES

Shredded Extra-sharp cheddar cheese.
Shredded lettuce.
Sliced black olives.
Chopped scallions.
Toothpaste.  No.  Wait.  Maybe not.
Chopped Jalepeno or Habanero peppers.
Your favorite hot sauce.

A good side dish, especially for an extra-spicy batch, is refried beans.  Enjoy!  <<bugman>>
