Fiesta

Several weeks ago I met up with a college friend who was visiting her parents for the week. I hadn't seen her for a long time and it was so wonderful to sit and catch up. Her little boy and nephew were there too so C and K had just as fun of a time as I did! During our stay, Rachel's mom made this meal for us. It was delicious and perfect for the cold, windy, rainy day that it was. It kind of reminds me of those "walking tacos" only we ate ours in bowls.

The recipe was designed to feed a large group...aka a {fiesta} party! So you may want to cut it in half like I did!
