This was delicious! I cooked as instructed making my on guacamole, making Mexican Black Beans #179877 and Spanish Rice #20780 to go along....definately a keeper and one to make again. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2012. -
Great thank you. I actually added the onions first (I wanted them a little cooked rather than just warm), then after about 3 minutes added the meat, garlic and cumin, when the meat was done, I added the peppers. My salsa was really hot, so I omitted the chilli powder-it had just the right amount of heat for us. I made my own guacamole and loved the rest of the toppings you suggested.

I am...I am not sure how to complete that sentence anymore. Six months ago I would have written that I am a single woman in her thirties who has a passion for teaching, scrapbooking, traveling, reading, writing, and cooking/baking. A lot has changed in my life. I am now a newly married thirty-something-year-old who seems to have a lot more time for cooking and baking. I have moved about 2000 kilometers to where my husband and I are making our home. In order to do this, I had to resign from my teaching position that I had held for over six years. I now find myself substitute teaching on some days, staying home and scrapbooking, reading, writing, blogging, taking pictures, and yes, cooking and baking a whole lot more than I ever have before.
