I whipped this together tonight when I had completely drawn a blank on supper. This turned out incredibly well, even considering the fact I was lost to start with. The heat level is a lil up there w/ this dish, even w/ a mild taco seasoning. Please, taste and adjust accordingly. Any type of ground meat can be used, or even omitted and replaced w/ beans. I've fallen in love w/ this meal and hope u do too.
