    I loved the recipe, but hated that it took forever to soak the liquid in. I didn't use the water just the juice from tomatoes. But, it was great! thanks for sharing! - 4/5/11

    Incredible!
    I make these all the time...I generally make homemade pico de gallo instead of using store bought salsa. I also buy the pre-seasoned taco flavored ground turkey to save sodium from the taco seasoning packets. - 9/18/10
