I prepared this hearty appetizer for 200 people at a cookout, and it was gone before I knew it! Everyone loved the barbecued ground beef, veggie and cheese combination. —Iola Egle Bella Vista, Arkansas

I've made this recipe several times and it's been a hit each time. I've given out this recipe many times. It's just awesome!! I usually make 1/4 the recipe and it goes very fast.

I was hesitant at first to try this recipe with the barbecue and the taco flavors clashing in my mind, but now, this has to be one of my favorite recipes. Thanks.
