This was great! I didn't use jalapeno (didn't have any on hand) and it still turned out excellent. When I made this a second time (still omitting jalepeno) I included taco-seasoned ground turkey in the taco. It was more hearty and even better than it was the last time!

I JUST made these for dinner....FANTASTIC! While I was putting them together, my hubby asked where the meat was. ;) I think he was very surprised by how tasty they were and how satisfied he was at the end of the meal. I did use 505 Organic (medium) salsa instead of the homemade and used garlic pepper instead of salt/pepper in the guac. The only other change I made was using black beans instead of the kidney... since they were in the pantry and we prefer them. A definite keeper and perfect light (yet satisfying) summer meal for AZ! Thanks for sharing.
