    I made mine with ground turkey. Very delicious! My whole family enjoyed it. I will certainly make this recipe again. Thank you Chef Meg. - 10/8/09

    I haven't made this just yet, but did want to point out something. In the video, Chef Meg adds the juice of 1/2 a fresh lime, just before serving. I did not see that listed here. This looks so yummy. I hope I have everything so I can make it tonight. - 8/11/09

    Good catch! We added that to the notes section. It's really optional, but it does boost the flavor.

    I made this recipe without any alterations. It is more of a Taco Stew, but it's delicious. We had it with "Elaine's Healthy Cornbread" and it was a hit with my family. My husband had 3 servings. Can't wait to make it again. - 9/24/09

    I'm going to save this and give it a try. Instead of a taco seasoning mix, my holy trinity of spices for Mexican dishes is cumin, turmeric, and a pinch of ground red chilli. - 12/29/09
