Made this for Bargain Basement tag game and DH and I really enjoyed this. I cut the recipe in half for us, used fresh minced jalapenos and served this on shredded lettece in mini taco bowls...yummy! So easy to make and great for a warm day. Definately a keeper.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
