What an awesome recipe that is quick to make and delicious to eat!!! We do like spicey foods so during the final steps of cooking, I added crushed red pepper. My husband is not so easy to impress and he absolutely loved this recipe!! This is a recipe we will use often....after all it's healthy, low in calories, delicious, filling and beautiful to serve!!!

My family really enjoyed this. We did discuss that it would be great with chorizo for a spicier dish.

Instead of corn I used peppers which have more benefits to your health

We were out of zucchini so we used fresh asparagus instead and it was delicious!

i added taco mix instead of good seasoning dressing. i doubled it and uses 1 can tomatoes and i can rotel. i used a 12 oz bag of corn and it was a TON and this called for 10 oz bag.(i did not double the corn - thank goodness) pretty good for something different than plain old tacos.

Something about this recipe just didn't seem quite right to me, so I decided to take it from Italian to Mexican. I used a can of tomatoes with green chilis, taco seasoning instead of the dressing mix, left out the zucchini and used cheddar instead of mozzarella. My husband loved it! Would be great in a tortilla too!

We thought this was good, my husband said it needed texture so next time I may try crushing tortilla chips on each serving. Some red pepper flakes could be a nice addition also for a little spice.

Yummy, easy and healthy! Next time I'll substitute Cheddar for the Mozzarella as a previous review suggested.
