Introduction
This recipe meant to be made with ground beef and real Mexican chorizo. This is the healthier version. It is always a hit at barbecues and outings.The ingredients in this recipe have plenty of sodium, so you shouldn't have to add salt. I suggest waiting until it is all cooked and taste testing it first. All of the spices can also be adjusted to your liking. I use twice as much cumin and chili powder. Recipe as it is a mild-medium spiciness, so if you like more spice, I suggest adding a few chopped jalapenos (seeds and all).
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of Daisy light sour cream, and Saltine crackers (unsalted tops). Can also be served as a topping or side for hamburgers, hot dogs, carne asada, or barbecue chicken.
The fat that comes from this meal is "good" healthy fat.
Enjoy!
