Tasty, n oh so easy! Will make again...I added some smoked BBQ sauce n loads of fresh jalapeno at the end. -
Great recipe! "It was good. I liked the spices," says 8-year-old Joel.<br/>We made wraps with this several nights and also ate it with potatoes one night. It's a very versatile entree. I followed the recipe as exactly as I could -- used dried rather than fresh cilantro and ground red pepper rather than flakes. Our chili powder is McCormick's Hot Mexican Chili, which adds quite a yummy kick. And I used our slow cooker rather than a crock pot.<br/>We'll be making this recipe again. Thanks for sharing it.<br/>ALSO! Love the home-made taco seasoning! I've been wanting to get taco seasoning without all the MSG in the pre-packaged powders. This is super. Thanks! -
I found this a little too juicy as prepared, but if you add 1/2-1 cup of rice it will soak up the juices and make it a hearty meal. -
