YUUMMMMYYYY, I added a bit of sweetened milk, and had to use a can of white corn as I had NO frozen. A real hit thanks for the post

We really enjoyed this. This was an easy meal to make and I love that it is made with ingredients I normally have on hand. We thought it could have used a bit more flavor so next time I think I would add half the water and use already cooked rice (or elimate the water totally). We didn't add the lettuce or tomato but did top each serving with cheese. The whole family enjoyed this and it made a quick and easy meal.

This was great. I went ahead and served it as tacos with the tortillas. Actually, I can't imagine just eating a bowl of this stuff by itself. It really seems like taco filling, but whatever blows your skirt up. Anyway, we loved it, and this will probably be the only way I serve tacos from now on. Oh yeah, I also left out the water and cooked the rice separately.

We enjoyed this delicious comfort meal very much. I used regular long grain rice, and cooked it separately while I browned the meat and added the salsa and corn. I did not add any water to the meat mixture. When the rice was ready, I mixed it in, covered the pan, and let it rest a few minutes. I totally forgot the cheese! I did add the tomato and lettuce which was a nice fresh addition. We will definitely make it again, and I'll add the cheese.
