Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.

Healthy Living

To cut back on the fat, prepare as directed using extra-lean ground beef or simulated ground beef, Cheez Whiz Light Process Cheese Product, Cracker Barrel Light Cheese and baked tortilla chips. If using the simulated ground beef, mix with the water and taco seasoning mix in large skillet, then bring to boil and continue as directed.

Very good when you want a change from the usual tacos. Instead of the Cheese Whiz though I substituted refried beans. Was a hit at my house!

Due to dietary restraints, was unable to use Cheese Whiz. Other than that, everything was great.
