    Thanks for the recipe. I’m pretty sure it tastes fabulous, but I’ll surely give it a try together with some beans and corn (as Kimberly mentioned). This is exactly the kind of a Mexican dish I can’t imagine without beans.

    Wow! Really good and easy to make. I added a half can each of black beans (drained) and corn (drained) to the meat mixture. Sprinkled the top with shredded cheese. Served with a side salad (oil and vinegar) with the remaining corn and black beans tossed in.

    Thanks for recipe.
