Not too spicey but thick and full of Mexican flavors, my family and friends love it. I also make it with ground turkey or deer meat mixed with ground beef for my husbands friends. Serving with bowls on the side of diced jalapeno peppers and hot sauce for the heat lovers allows people like me that can't take spice to eat this. Enjoy
