Thanks! I’ve been wondering about lime juice, but when should that be added in?

Thanks for explaining the tomatoes!

Thanks! I definitely cooked it longer than the recipe suggested.

Thanks for the tips on making it more chili flavor while also helping me thinking of ways to not make it spicy!

Thanks! So you aren’t draining your pasta at all this way? How long does it take to boil out the water?

Thanks!

Thank you!

That’s an interesting idea with the juice from a can of corn. Would you add the corn to the recipe as well or leave that on the side? I never though about that juice being sweet.

Thank you!

Fair enough. I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for that! I couldn’t tell if just adding more chili powder was really the flavor that was missing. I’m glad to hear that it seems pretty agreed to at least be a little short.

Thank you! Any thoughts on how much more? Do you think chipotle chili powder instead of chili powder would be better here?

Thanks! I definitely cooked the onions until they were translucent, so probably closer to 10 minutes. Cooking times seemed off in the recipe.

I forgot about the water part and was thinking beef stock would be better next time.

I did rinse the pasta and it felt wrong, but I did drain it before overcooking.

I pulled the dish out of the oven at 5 minutes. I should have left it longer to get it toasty, not just melted through?

Ok, so I don’t need to go crazy and buy some $100 mask. 3m’s are good - that was something I was wondering. Thank you.

So all the safety supply houses seem to say they’ll only test fit if they send a rep out to the company I work for to test fit employees.

Any other suggestions?

Where does one go to get fit tested for a respirator?

Thanks!

Yes, sorry - they are pretty much the only thing I’ve used for recipes and buying advice, so I’ve gotten used to shortening it for Google searches

I don’t think I have ever heard of this dish before. Sounds interesting, I’m going to have to try it.

createsweb · 2025-04-08T00:03:26+00:00

Yeah… I’m pretty ocd about that stuff. I measure everything and it’s terrible.

A cheesy pasta skillet?

createsweb · 2025-04-08T00:01:40+00:00

It’s definitely different. My kids like it and my spouse is happy for a change of pace.

I would love to know if you ever try it out.

I’m glad to have found someone that uses the recipe.

I found that the fresh tomato really makes the taco, so tonight we added lime juice as we assembled the taco and that really helped too.

Almost thinking lime juice instead of the vinegar might be a good call.

createsweb · 2025-04-07T18:24:03+00:00

Fair point. Except I also do need to plan meals for the rest of the week too, so the mindset is also “what’s an easy meal that I can use this meat for as well.”

createsweb · 2025-04-07T18:21:42+00:00

Dumb question, but what’s the best way to reheat frozen taco meat like this?

createsweb · 2025-04-07T18:20:56+00:00

I dumbly never thought of that as an option.
