We will make this again
e.moreno1953 - June 26, 2008 05:00:04 PM PSTThis was tasty but I made a change. I added more Salsa so it would not be dry and I made at least a 1lb of ground beef. The next time I will try adding a packet of taco mix to the beef for more flavor. This is a great weekend meal.

my husband keeps asking for it
silverholly83 - August 6, 2008 07:21:32 AM PSTI made this recipie substituting a package of Morningstar crumbles and it tastes great and cuts the cooking time by a lot. My husband, who occasionally tolerates meat substitutions but will choose real beef over it any day, absolutely loves it. I'm lucky if *I* get any of it, lol.
