Food won’t go to waste when you serve this satisfying taco that puts canned goods to use. Even better, the creamy, not soggy, filling keeps the shell crunchy. —Simple & Delicious Test Kitchen

My husband loved this. I made it with ground turkey and used diced tomatoes with jalapenos. We added sour cream to the optional toppings. Great job S&D Test Kitchen on this one!!!

Delicious! I used Cheddar Cheese soup because our market didn't have Nacho Cheese soup. I also used regular corn because I'm not very fond of peppers. I have a feeling it might be even better the next day!

I thought this turned out well. I made for just the hubby and I so we had leftovers. It's very creamy and he thought maybe the Mexicorn overpowered it just a bit. I had to use Cheddar Cheese soup instead of Nacho Cheese which I think affected the flavor but it was still pretty good. We had it in hard taco shells, soft tortilla shells and made some nachos as well. It's very good over tortilla chips with some shredded Mexican-style cheese. We will make again.
