Meat and Mushroom Tacos

Tacos are a big favorite, so I love when I can cut the meat with a can of beans and make it last longer. But what's even better is adding in some mushrooms in addition to the beans to stretch things even further. These Meat and Mushroom Tacos taste even better with homemade corn tortillas!
