Recipe

    IF SERVING NOW or in a COUPLE OF DAYS:

    Heat through right before serving. Use your favorite taco shells or wrappers. Put a tablespoon of salsa along the bottom of my taco. Then scoop in as much filling as you like leaving room for lettuce, avocado and maybe some onions. Anything you like.

    IF FREEZING:

    Let cool to room temperature and then pack in rigid sided freezer containers.

    TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:

    Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator a few (4 to 6) hours before serving. Heat filling in saucepan and serve.
