This was last night's dinner - the meat sauce part is
made in the crockpot. When it is done, let it cool a
bit and then use it in a taco salad. Very easy to do
and great for weeknights.
This was really good. Steve loved it. It was quite
filling.
For anyone on Somersizing or Low Carb, omit the taco
chips. It is quite filling without them. Use something
else for the crunch appeal.
Mary Anne sent me some Sonoma Jack Habanero Cheese in
the mail and it is superb and really has a nice heat.
That is what I used on my serving, I used Cabots
Pepper Jack on Steves. He loved it. Didn't complain of
it being too hot but did notice the heat of the
chipotle salsa (I used Original Juan's).

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used already cooked beef and ground it up in the
food processor. After the onion was cooked, I put the
ground meat in and just browned it a bit. Then added
the whole thing to the crockpot.
