  • This recipe is easy and SO good. It was healthy yet very filling. I actually used the entire package of taco seasoning (25 calories) which made it very flavorful. I'll be making this one again and again! - 1/30/08

  • Very tasty, but very spicy. Will make it again and probably put less jalepeno peppers and less cayenne pepper in it. Other than that loved it. - 7/9/07
