Mexican Shredded Beef: Combine tomato or tomatillo salsa and beef mixture, as desired. Heat through, stirring occasionally. Serve in warmed flour or corn tortillas topped with pico de gallo, sliced avocados, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro and/or chopped white or green onions, as desired. Excellent with a dollop of fresh sour cream too!
BBQ Shredded Beef: Combine prepared barbecue sauce and beef mixture. Heat through, stirring occasionally. Serve on whole wheat rolls topped with creamy horseradish sauce, coleslaw, Cheddar cheese slices, chopped green bell pepper and/or canned French fried onions, as desired.
