What delicious and unusual flavors. The sweetness really works with the spiciness in this dish. I did break down and used a mild salsa, against my will because I really like hot foods. So instead I had half a jalapeno left from another recipe so diced it up and threw it in. Just added enough heat to make me happy. I do think too much would take away from the overall flavor. Because it had so much Mexican flavor I topped it off with a sprinkling of cilantro. I could see adding in some chopped green of red peppers and maybe chunks of onion. Excellent! Thanks for posting. :) -
Yum! Made as written except had to use smooshed up canned peaches cause I couldn't find preserves anywhere! Even my daughter, who's sick and hasn't eaten much lately, thought it was great. This is headed into the tried and true file! -
Made for Newest Zaar Tag! This was wonderful! DH & DS couldn't stop talking about how good it was. It was quick and easy and I used my own taco seasoning mix. I thought that the meat alone without the jam and salsa would make a good filling for fajitas or tacos. Thanks for posting this Mike!
