EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

In the (unlikely!) event there is any beef mixture left, bring it home and refrigerate it for lunch the next day. Reheat the beef mixture, wrap in a flour tortilla and serve with fresh toppings.

If ripe avocados aren't available, take along two containers of purchased guacamole instead.

I thought this mix made a delicious taco salad! Although I used black beans instead of kidney. Also, I was a little surprised it was a slow cooker meal. But it turned out great, my 5 year old even liked it.

I loved the recipe. I did not use the slower cooker, but did cook on low on the stove for about an hour after it started to bubble on high heat. The best taco salad I have ever made, and it made plenty to feed my family of five.

I did chorizo instead of ground beef. I did diced can tomatoes in chili juice instead of tomato sauce. I added about a half a cup of enchilada sauce for extra flavor and thickness. I followed everything else on the recipe as it stated and it came out amazing! So much flavor :)
