Thought this would be good for something different but didn't really care for it very much. If I were to make it again, would only use one cornbread mix. (Granted, I did use a different mix, but it was smaller boxes.) Overall, was pretty dry. DH and I decided we'd rather have traditional tacos, but it was fun to try something different. Thanks for the recipe anyway! Just wasn't our taste.

This was awesome, I used Betty Crocker muffin mix as it showed lower fat and if worked great. We topped that with 1 can of fat free refried beans, 1 lb ground turkey mixed with 1 pkg taco seasoning, 1 can green chili's, red bell pepper, extra chili powder, cumin and garlic powder. Topped with hot pepper and cheddar cheese, then baked 5 min and topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa. Can't wait to have again. Thanks
