This was amazing!
Excellent!! New family favorite meal. My family loved this recipe, I put out all the toppings like taco night. Followed the recipe except left the jalapeno out. We loved it! For the side I made twice baked south west potatoes. Great meal.
These were awesome! I have one son that doesn’t like lettuce – so made a taco for him. This is a nice “lighter on the carb” option.
