Notes
- *Taco Seasoning: everyone has different taste preferences so start with 1 packet of taco seasoning and then add more as-desired. I ended up adding 1 1/2 packages and loved it, but go slow so you make it how you like it! I used Siete brand – mild spice flavor.
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
