This is a great Americanized filling that can be used in tacos, burritos, in eggs, salads, on a taco/burrito bar and a hundred other dishes. Add some chopped potatoes and eggs for a breakfast burrito filling. It makes a bunch, and does really well in the freezer for a quick dinner. I made this for my crew when we were on night shifts and finally wrote it down about 20 years ago. In lieu of the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic cocoa powder and cinnamon, you can use 3 rounded tablespoons of Spring Hill Ranch's Southwestern Seasoning, available here at JaP.
