Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cook Ground Meat Thoroughly

Cook ground beef thoroughly and evenly. The color of the raw ground meat can vary from bright red to light pink. Do not rely on the color of the meat to check for doneness but use an instant read thermometer instead. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF.

It was great my family doesn't like sour cream but I do. So I just used Sour cream on a small portion for me and it was GREAT! Thanks!

Sour cream instead of salad dressing and no carrots.

My wife and I enjoyed this but it had too much chili powder. I would suggest halving the amount. It was too spicy for my two nine-year-old girls.

The bowls definitely didn't turn out as planned. Would make again but would use pre-made taco bowls or just use taco shells.

My family and I enjoy with a twist lean ground turkey. The Kids enjoy it.

My entire family loved this recipe. I have two sons who had a ball helping prepare it. They thought it was "so awesome" that they could eat their bowl. Didn't really get a great bowl shape, but it was delicious just the same.

I loved this recipe. It is easy to adjust to your own taste. I have added black beans and avacodo to this recipe. The tortilla bowl idea worked well. Instead of draping the tortilla over foil, I put it over an oven-safe prep bowl. This helped to get more of a bowl shape.

Everyone loved this. I made it last night. I did add avacodo to the salad and a little cheese sauce instead of the mayo. So yummy.
