Lainies know! I made this for PAC Spring 2010. I used ground turkey instead of beef, just what I always do, added some red pepper flakes for heat (for hubby), and smeared them with lowfat sour cream and some salsa. Served on a bed of shredded lettuce. YUMMY! Leftovers were eaten by hubby this morning topped with fried eggs. He left the house a happy man! DeeLish!

This recipe was really good tasting and quick to make. I didn't put the beans because I don't like them but it was still yummy. Lainie's know what they're doing ;-)
