Yums! I muscled it up a bit with red pepper flakes. Added some corn for crunch. Used Lawry's "Hot" taco mix. Left overs made a good breakfast next morning.

This was a very easy recipe that my husband enjoyed. I think I will try the green chilli's next time for the extra kick.

GREAT!!! Soooo nice and easy and I had all the ingredients. I used hot picante to spice it up. Thanks for this recipe that even I could make and it still turned out excellent. Ramona Silverhill, Al.

We loved this! I recently started working several evenings a week, so I made this for my husband and two kids. My husband, the original "picky eater", absolutely devoured it! Here's what I did, I used McCormick Taco Seasoning, and over seasoned it a bit. I used a mixture of cheddar and mozzerella cheese (it's what I had on hand). I added a can of drained Fiesta Corn (with red and green peppers) into the picante sauce. I used about 1 1/2 cups picante sauce. I made my own cornbread, and made only enough for one pan. Like I said, it was scrumptious...not dry at all. My hubbie and my kids ate it up, and I'm having leftovers for lunch today. Great recipe!
