If you want to reduce the sodium in this recipe, try removing the taco seasoning & using Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning instead. And if you are missing that thickness that usually comes with the taco seasoning, try adding a little cornstarch! Overall, sounds like a great recipe though! - 4/17/11
