This is very tasty & super easy to put together. I made it as is but, used ½ Cup of the masa. It was the perfect consistancy. Will definetly be making this again.

This recipe is very easy to make cut your onion, brown the beef then open up the cans and pour it in the pot. Your photos look like it had more tomato base to it hen what ours ended up as. And I would like to try added a 6 ounce can of tomato paste next time and 1/4 cup more of the masa harina s it did not thicken very much. Other then that the flavor was very good. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Made for Zaar World Tour 2006
