2 c Picante sause
-(salsa for you people that
-aren't cooking-literate)
1 15-ounce can pinto or

1 ts Chili powder (We use more)
1 lg Tomate, chopped

1/2 c Sliced ripe olives
1 c Grated cheddar cheeses

In a 12-inch skillet, brown meat with onion; drain. Add picante sauce,
beans, and chili powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered
5 minutes. Stil in tomato, avocado and olives; remove from heat. Sprinkle
with cheese; spoon sour cream onto center of meat mixture. Place a row of

This recipe was conceived by Michael Koelsch, a high-school junior from
Idaho Falls, Idaho; he won $1,000 for it in the 6th annual Pace Picante
Sauce Young Cooks Recipe Contest.

You can cut the fat in this recipe by using extra-lean ground beef, low-fat
cheese, and nonfat sour cream, but it doesn't taste as good. ;)
