    Ingredients

    • 2 (10-oz) cans Ro-Tel tomatoes (or 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes and 4 oz can chopped green chilies), drained, 1/2 cup juice reserved
    • 1 (16-oz) can refried beans
    • 1 Tbsp hot sauce
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
    • 1 1/2 lbs 90-percent-lean ground beef
    • 1 (1.25-oz) package low-sodium taco seasoning mix
    • 12 taco shells
    • 3 scallions, sliced thin

    Directions

    1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees.
    2. Combine half of tomatoes, beans, hot sauce, and cilantro in bowl.
    3. Spread evenly in 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
    4. Cook beef in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Pour off fat, then stir in taco seasoning, remaining tomatoes, and reserved tomato juice. Simmer over medium0low heat until thickened and nearly dry, 5 to 7 minutes.
