“I found this recipe while on a cruise in a cookbook out of the Caribbean, of all places. It was titled ‘Authentic Mexican Tacos.’ The cookbook was being sold to raise money for a local school. If you have some leftover chilies, they go great in this taco meat.” – Jean Hansen
“We fix these quite often. It is easy to have the filling made up in advance as it freezes well. It’s got Taco Bell beat all to heck.” – Calla Ferre
“Definitely has Taco Bell beat, especially given that their ‘meat’ is only 35% beef! I had a craving for these while in college, but it makes up way too much meat for me to eat alone, so I sent out a bunch of messages via AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), which was popular at the time, to my friends and we had a spontaneous taco bar party.” – April Ferre
