Introduction
I do not suggest any of the brand name ingredients listed above, Sparkpeople added these brand names to the recipe. I suggest you make this recipe with organic (NON_GMO) vegetables, cage-free/antibiotic/hormone free chicken, and make your own taco seasoning so you don't eat all the sodium and preservatives. As someone who avoids commercial meats and GMO foods I am really angry that Sparkpeople put words in my mouth and promoted foods that I am against. Eat organic, it tastes SO much better.I did not include the 'fixins' with this recipe (i.e. tortillas, tomatos, onions, guac, cheese, or sour cream) I do not suggest any of the brand name ingredients listed above, Sparkpeople added these brand names to the recipe.

If you're cooking this on high, keep an eye on it because it can over cook and come out dry. It will still taste great but it won't taste awesome. ; D Happy cooking!
