onion, garlic, cumin and chili powder; fry gently 5 minutes, stirring to
break up sausage. Add tomato, tomato paste, bell pepper and kidney beans.
Stir well and cook gently 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent
mixture sticking. Season with salt.

shells with sausage mixture. Top each taco with sour cream and sprinkle
with paprika. Serve with lettuce leaves and radish roses.

VARIATION: Substitute lean ground beef for sausage, if desired.
