I didn't have any taco seasoning so substituted fajita seasoning. I added sliced onions into the meat mixture and served shredded cheese, salsa, light sour cream and chopped tomatoes on the side. Very delicious.

We forgot to use the taco seasoning so we replaced it with some Goya seasonings and a little paprika and it came out really good. It also tastes good with some sour cream anhd tortillas. Easy recipe, quick prep.
