The added protein from black beans adds a fibre boost and also allows you to use less ground chicken in this budget conscious variation on the traditional taco supper.

    I will definitely make again. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the easy recipe. Served over rice with light sour cream and shredded cheese. I used ground chicken breast did not use the salt and added 3/4 tsp garlic powder.

    yummy. you could also substitute rice. I didn't have any salsa so I used a can of rotel tomatoes and green chilis with some taco sauce and it turned out great.

    Really good but a little spicy from the chili powder. Will cut it in half next time. Used an entire can of beans and half a can of corn.

    Made it per recipe. It tasted wonderful. All five kids liked it. I would not use the pasta again. Didn't taste bad just an odd combo. We will serve it over rice in a taco in a burrito over chips or as a lettuce wrap. Very healthy and crowd pleasing

    Very good! I made the meat mix exactly as it read but mixed in a bag of Uncle Bens precooked brown Santa Fe rice (instead of noodles) and it was wonderful. We all ate it differently. 7 year old on tortilla chips like nachos husband on a tortilla and me over a bed of lettuce.

    Made with a mix of beans since the grocery store has no black beans but I am sure it made no difference. Great week day meal.

    Made this for 10 servings and everyone wanted seconds! Just the right amount of spices to this healthy meal!

    This was great. We took the advice of the first review skipped the egg noodles and turned it into taco stuffing. Burrito stuffing would be great as well. I also exchanged the spices and ued a taco spice already made up.
