Anyone Have Suggestions/Recipes for Left Over Taco Meat?

In summary, here are some suggestions for using leftover taco meat for supper tonight: make a ring, taco salad, quesadillas, taco pizza, nachos, or a dip with refried beans. Other ideas include taco soup, sloppy joes, and a Tamale Round About. To make the Tamale Round About, add southwestern seasoning or taco seasoning to the taco meat and cook with egg noodles and cheese. Serve when noodles are tender.

Make a ring!
 
I always use mine for Jerk Chicken Nachos, just make a taco form of them...
 
Taco Salad!!
Or, you could throw some meat and cheese in a tortilla and make a quesadilla.
Or, you could make a taco pizza out of it, like the chicken fajita pizza but with taco meat.
Mmmm...nachos, put it on tortilla chips and smother with velveeta.
 
Taco soup

2 lbs of hamburger
2 cans of corn
2 cans of pinto beans
1 pkg of taco seasoning
1 pkg of dry Ranch dressing - I use the Fiesta Ranch
1 or 2 cans of Rol Tel ( I use 1 can of regular and 1 can of extra hot)
depending on how spicy you like it
Brown meat; drain the grease
dump cans into the meat - including the juice
simmer for about 30 minutes
