This recipe is full of wonderful flavor and easy too! You could probably fix this in the crockpot even.

Really good topped with all your favorite fillings (like guacamole )and served in homemade tortillas.

Oh that sounds yummy! How many people will this serve? Can it be frozen?

[Shannon]

I don't see why it couldn't be frozen Des and it fed all 7 of us and I think we may have had some leftovers.....

[Desirae]

Ok so i could easily half it for us and still have some left over.... I think this is going to be dinner tonight.
