Expert Tips

Lean ground turkey can be used instead of the ground beef, if you like.

Toss a crisp green salad with your favorite low-fat dressing and serve it with this family-style skillet meal. Fresh fruit makes a perfect dessert.

The only reason for 4 instead of 5 spoons is that mine came out a little too tomato saucy for our tastes, but will definitely be making this again. I too, added a couple teaspoons of taco seasoning mix and it gave it just the right amount of punch for us.

Made this for dinner tonight and loved it. Super easy and really good. I used medium salsa for a little zing - just a little zing, I don't like it too spicy. I also added 1 T of taco seasoning as someone else suggested - great addition, and served it with sour cream. Next time I will crush up some tortilla chips when I serve it.

This was a hit at my table. So I didn't exactly make this the "healthy way." I added black beans. Also exchanged the salsa for petite cut diced tomatos with jalapenos which gave it a little extra flavor and zip and didn't have the problem of it being bland. I also added some mexican blend cheese. I WILL be making this again!
