Recipe: Buffalo-Style Beef Tacos (using ground beef, wing sauce and blue cheese dressing)

BUFFALO-STYLE BEEF TACOS
"Family favorite tacos get a flavor update with wing sauce, blue cheese, celery and carrots."

1 pound ground beef (95% lean)
1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce for Buffalo wings (like Frank's RedHot)
8 taco shells
1 cup thinly sliced lettuce
1/4 cup reduced fat or regular prepared blue cheese dressing
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Carrot and celery sticks or cilantro sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into small crumbles and stirring occasionally.* Remove beef from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings. Return to skillet; stir in pepper sauce. Cook and stir 1 minute or until heated through.

Meanwhile, heat taco shells according to package directions.

Evenly spoon beef mixture into taco shells. Add lettuce; drizzle with dressing. Top evenly with carrot, celery and cilantro. Garnish with carrot and celery sticks or cilantro sprigs, if desired.

*Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
