A nice easy southwest brunch! I did double the taco seasoning and am very glad I did, also there was no baking temperature listed so baked at 350 F for 40 minutes. As promised it had a nice crispy outside with a soft tender center. Made a light sauce of sour cream flavored with some of the left over taco seasoning to serve alongside. Thanks for the post.
