Notes: I think this is my first 2012 post that we actually made in 2012 (there are still 4 or 5 from 2011 that I haven't got to yet). We bought the regular taco shells because they were a better deal, but it made it hard to fit everything in. I put in what I could and ended up with 6 tacos. I really enjoyed these. They looked delicious in the original photo and I wasn't disappointed at all. Source: Betty Crocker 2011 recipe calendar.
We made this for dinner last night. They were SO good! I really liked the addition of the baked beans and chicken instead of regular taco meat.
