"I needed something low in fat and carbs to go with tacos. I didn't want rice or other starches so I came up with this recipe. You can make it as spicy as you want."

Delicious side dish! I used blanched fresh green beans, well drained, and they were not a bit too liquidy. Also, used low-fat sour cream and mayo and cheddar cheese. Will definitely make this again. Thnx for posting maryL. Made for Diabetic Forum Pool Party tag game.

Very tasty and really easy to put together with things I usually have around. We found the sauce to be a little too liquid, maybe it was the type of salsa I used? I think I would try to tweak things to make it a bit thicker next time. Made for PAC Spring 2010.
