A simple yet very nutricious and very filling. Definitely going to make this since the sons love mince meat and tofu. Thanks for sharing.

This looks like a very manageable recipe. I’m a lousy cook, but I think I’m willing to give this one a try!

Yummo! We have pinon trees in our own yard and harvest the nuts. We also hike here in the mountains during the fall to harvest them, too. They are very expensive in the store as they tend to not produce well every year. About every 4 years the pinons in our area go a little NUTS and produce more than even the animals can eat. hehe!
I’ll have to try that recipe. I think I’ll leave out the ground beef and use romaine lettuce instead, but leave everything else the same. Your pictures were terrific. Everything looked a little bit NUTTY!
