"This recipe is from a pamphlet Del Monte put out. I have been making this for years, as it has become one of our favorites. I must confess I usually substitute a can of plain stewed tomatoes and add my own spices - chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin and pepper. I use approximately a 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of each, depending on my taste buds that day. Suggest you make it with the Mexican spiced tomatoes for the first time. Ole!"

This was great. I made it almost as stated. I added 1 can of spicy refried beans to the beef mixture, to make it spread a little further. Very yummy and will make again. Thanks for posting, reviewed for PAC Spring 2009.
