Tips:
"I tried these last night. YUMMY! Actually, I substituted ground turkey breast for the ground chicken and it was absolutely delicious. I increased the seasonings some because ground turkey tends to be a little flavorless. We loved them. I may never make ground beef tacos again!"

"FAST and good! This is a nice recipe to pack to work. Microwave the filling, put the tortilla on top for a few seconds and you're set. I usually have the 2 for dinner and take just 1 for lunch with a salad or some fruit or a dessert treat!"
