Great Recipe! Made this for one of our Sunday Dinners I put on and it was a huge hit....very easy...the only thing I did was add a can of black beans to the meat mixture....will make again

Wow this was deeelicious! I made it for a superbowl party this last weekend, and everybody loved it. I had two people ask me for the recipe. I made one change by adding an extra taco seasoning packet to the recipe. My family like really bold flavors and that definitely did the trick.

Excellent recipe and very easy to throw together. I used nonfat sour cream and reduced fat cheese to save some calories and fat. I added some refried beans to the layers as well.
