Delicious! I made using recipe#199955 for the taco seasoning and made half the recipe and divided up fours ways as a generous meal for two. Only change I made was that I'd absorption cooked the rice and used tomatoes that didn't have a real lot of juice so also added a cup of beef stock because it started out fairly thick and that turned out perfectly after the 30 minutes of simmering.
