Ingredients

• Crackers
• 1 pkg package Crunchmaster® Aged White Cheddar Multi-Grain Crackers
• Produce
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
• 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 chopped avocado
• 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
• Dairy
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend (cheddar/Monterey Jack) cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• Meat
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• Canned Goods
• 1 can fat-free refried beans (16 oz.)
• Baking & Spices
• 1 pkg taco seasoning mix (1.25 oz.)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and season with taco mix. Set aside.
2. Spray a 24 oz. Au Gratin dish, or 9” deep dish pie pan with non-stick baking spray. Evenly spread 1 can of fat-free refried beans on the bottom of the dish. Top with ground beef/taco mixture. Sprinkle with Mexican blend cheese.
3. Layer the Crunchmaster® Aged White Cheddar Multi-Grain Crackers around the outside of the dish in an overlapping pattern. Cover crackers with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
4. Bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes, until cheese melts, and dish is warmed through.
5. Take from oven and remove foil from crackers. Cover with fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions.
