I enjoy preparing one-dish dinners, and this is one of my favorites because it's so easy and attractive. Served with tortilla chips or taco shells, it's a fun meal for everyone. And because it's so festive looking, I put the skillet right on the table when we have company.

Fantastic! Easier than tacos! Everything is in one dish - so easy. I used ground turkey and it was delicious.

My family really enjoys this. We use it as a filling for taco shells or as a dip on tortilla chips. Quick and Easy!!!
