This was really good. Added a can of black beans so we didn't use as much meat. Used more salsa so that it would be more saucey and didn't have mexicorn. Hit at our house. Definate do again!

This was a very good, easy weeknight meal. I used ground turkey, and used elbow macaroni for the pasta. Leftovers were good reheated for lunch the next day.

We made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious and it made a ton of food. I changed it up a bit as I didn't have any taco seasoning in the house. I used about a TBL of chipotle chili powder and a couple of shakes of garlic salt. I also did not have any mexicorn so I used a can of whole kernel corn and added a bit more salsa. I was asked to put this in rotation. Thank you for such an easy and delicous meal idea.
