Recipe is a great mix from normal tacos. I didn't add rice so cut the water in 1/2... The husband & I loved it!!

This recipe is really good, my daughter and husband really like it, my daughter asks me to make it all the time. I used black beans instead of kidney's (just b/c that's all I had) and it was great! I think I might add a little more tomato sauce next time, it was a little dry when I heated up leftovers.

I have made it twice. It was loved by my large family. It is very economical.

I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but used it as a guideline and added some of my own ingredients. I also used shredded chicken instead of ground. It went over well with everyone in my family!
