     These tasted like a typical taco so no great shakes. - 3/14/10

     I just made this for supper. What a hit. We loved it. I added cucumber and diced cheddar cheese on a bed of lettuce. So easy, yet very healthy. - 5/2/09

     I love the morningstar crumbles and use them all of the time! I can even get my boyfriend (a non-vegetarian) to eat them without complaining that there's no meat! - 10/28/08

     I make my taco's with low fat cheese & ground chicken.I prefer not to use anything in packages, they have so much salt & preservatives. I use the taco mix that comes in a jar next to all the other spices.
    My family enjoys it this way. I have to say also that it tastes good. - 7/29/08

     I buy taco shells AND tortilla's and instead of using the cheese in the taco i melt it on the tortilla and wrap it around the hard shell. its so great because you still get the hard shell but not as much of a mess. - 7/29/08

     This is one of my families favorite meals and they don't taste any difference in the "meat". - 5/20/08

  • KIMCATUS
     This is my favorite way to make tacos! Even my meat loving hubby loves it and says it tastes great! It's a wonderful alternative to ground beef or even ground turkey! Thanks for sharing! - 5/1/08
  • CECILIAMM
     Very good idea - thanks! - 5/1/08
  • ABATEMAN
     I've made this before and just love it! I use finely chopped onions, mushrooms and garlic cooked up in a tiny bit of olive oil before cooking up the fake meat with it. Gives it a bit more flavor that the meat loving men in my family love to eat when I make it! - 5/1/08
