Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
1 package (4-1/2 ounces) taco shells
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped red onion

Directions:
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, Greek seasoning, garlic and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 8-10 minutes or until thickened. Add spinach and olives; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted.

Meanwhile, place taco shells on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into each shell. Top with feta cheese and onion.

Yield: 12 tacos.

    I thought it was way cool.
    Of course is you don't want the taco shell... use it as a salad topping! Yummy!
