    ground - Southwestern Skillet Dinner

    1 cup tomato-based salsa
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
    1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed or 1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel
    corn, drained
    3 green onions, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces
    1 pound lean ground beef
    10 cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese with
    jalapeno peppers (optional)
    Minced cilantro leaves (optional)

    For sauce, in a small bowl stir together the salsa and cornstarch. Set
    aside.
    Wrap tortillas in foil and bake in a 350*F (175*C) oven about 10 minutes or
    until warm. (Or, just before serving, microwave tortillas, covered, on 100%
    power-HIGH-about 1 minute or until warm.)
    Meanwhile, add oil to a large skillet. Preheat over medium-high heat.
    Stir-fry bell pepper, corn, and green onions in hot oil about 2 to 3 minutes
    or until bell pepper is crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.
    Crumble beef into skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain
    fat. Push meat from center of skillet.
    Stir sauce; add to center of skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and
    bubbly. Return the cooked vegetables to skillet. Stir all ingredients
    together to coat. Stir in the tomatoes; reduce heat. Cover and cook about 1
    minute or until heat through.
    Serve immediately with warm tortillas. Sprinkle individual servings with
    cheese and chopped cilantro, if desired.
    Makes 4 servings.
