This is an old family meal that my mom used to make. I’ve adjusted it for my family’s taste but it is very flexible and so tasty! Our son Wyatt loves this dish. It is spicy and crunchy…so good. It is kind of like deconstructed crunchy tacos, hope you enjoy.

You can top with cilantro, sour cream, or whatever toppings you want that you enjoy with Mexican flavors. You can use black beans as well which I love too. My mom used kidney beans so you try it different ways and see which you prefer 🙂

  It’s a fun dish for sure. My mom doesn’t love cooking so this was a dinner on repeat when I was a kid. And I love that it is versatile and you can add so many different toppings. Hope he enjoys 🙂
