My husband & son loved this. I added a small can of green chilis to spice it up a little. Very easy and yummy!

Very easy and quick. My husband doesn't like Velveeta cheese so we added regular shredded cheese instead. Everyone loved it and finished it off

I just got the magazine with this recipe a week ago but my family has had me make it 3 times. They loved it. Will be a family favorite for a long time.

I used hash browns instead of cubed potatos and rolled in tortillas

It was ok, family said it wasn't a "keeper" as far as new recipes go.

I made this recipe last night form my family and we loved it. I chaned a few things in it. I used fresh diced potatoes, added crushed red peppers instead of fresh red pepper, added 1.36 lbs of beef and 1 & 1/2 pks. of taco mix. My daughter added sour cream to her.With the fresh potatoes it took the same amount of time. I diced them thin to meduim.I will fix this recipe again.
