Nice recipe for a quick easy meal. I added frozen corn and a can of diced tomatoes with green chili’s to the meat. The cup of cheese I put in the cornbread was jalapeño cheddar.

I used shredded beef and chicken and refried beans

One of our favorite dinners-so easy to make & so few ingredients needed! I alter the recipe by adding salsa instead of the tomato paste, and add about a cup of frozen corn to the meat mixture.

This was really tasty & easy. I seasoned my meat based on the prior review. I also ate with sour cream & taco sauce. Yum!! Will make again.
