I've made the original recipe many times & love the stuff. It's even better with Chef Meg's taco seasoning, and the kids will never know you snuck in extra veggies. Just as good if you accidentally forget the sour cream (like me.) Delicious on brown rice, whole wheat tortillas or baked corn chips. - 7/1/10
