This is a wonderful tasting taco. I like the fact that you get to eat two. I simmered it for about 15 - 20 minutes to thicken it up. With the amount of tomato sauce listed it was more like a soup. Otherwise I would have given this 5 stars. I added in about 1 tbs of diced fresh jalapeno peppers for some heat. I also top them with shredded lettuce and some chopped tomato. This is a keeper. Thanks for posting. Made for "My 3 Chefs" tag game. :)
