Easy Skillet Tacos

Made this for my boyfriend and myself and have to say it was one of the easiest and much healthier recipe! Didn't melt the cheese on top and added minced fresh garlic for taste! Smells amazing for sure!

This is a great recipe and very versatile. I usually use boneless chicken breasts cut into small pieces instead of the beef and beans. I sometimes use only the ground beef, and when my vegetarian granddaughter visits I make it with only the beans. This is handy for many variations. If you want to prepare a glutton free meal, you can serve it over crushed corn chips and lettuce.

I grew up near the border and always LOVED good Mexican food, including tacos. I've had the hardest time finding a recipe that reminds me of the wonderful tacos I could get near home...until I found this one. The flavor, the texture...everything tastes as it should, as far as I'm concerned. I often elect to make this recipe for Mexican lasagna, using this instead of canned refried beans. Wonderful!

I made this tonight with a side of rice similar to Chipotle's rice. It was very good. My husband really liked it. I added chopped green chiles which really added to the taste. This will be a regular in the house.

I personally prefer this meat mixture in a burrito or over tortilla chips for some righteous nachos, but not for tacos. The texture just doesn't work in a taco shell for me. With that said, will definitely use again in burritos and nachos.

Love this recipe - omitted the beans & cheese & I let it simmer for 30 mins. - very good

Family favorite. We make it often. I cut back on the chile powder b/c I have small children. I also reduce the cheese to 1 cup (healthier, and we don't miss it). Great weekday meal.

My husband and one of my sons asked for more. My very picky 7 year old even kept eating at it for a while. Will definitely make again. Added 4/19/11 I have made this many times now. Easy to make and the whole family still likes it.

3 chilldren under 10 ate with not one complaint!! Even my daughter who hates beans. Husband had multiple helpings. Would recommend it to be made on a busy night. I did use homemade salsa.
