Made this for dinner tonight. I loved the fact that it was so simple to make. Not a lot of measuring involved. I must admit I was guilty of eyeballing the salt, pepper, ground cumin and salsa. I used a jar of chipotle salsa as I thought the smoky flavor from the fire roasted chillies would add a nice flavor. It really blended well with the Neufchatel cheese. Best of all I like the fact that I didn't have to grate a block of cheese. My family has a tendency to put a mound of cheese on their tacos and burritos...the use of the Neufchatel made this recipe far more diet friendly. For the beef I used a section of tenderloin that I ground myself so there was no fat to drain off in the pan either. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made and reviewed for Spring 2011 PAC.
