I love it when I find an EASY and yummy recipe everyone likes especially when most of the ingredients are already stocked in my freezer.
This recipe is courtesy of my local grocery store! The original version is all convenience products, but I have changed it to using only canned items that I don’t do from scratch, but you could.
The total preparation time if you have everything on hand is about five minutes, longer if you need to prepare the ingredients. It’s yummy and kids will love it.

I made this when we had friends for dinner-we love’d it. Their son ate 6 tacos – his mother said she must have the recipe. Thanks for sharing it with us.
