Tacos

You can either serve this quick easy recipe in tacos or in a bowl, topped with a little sour cream and grated cheese and serve with tortilla chips.   If you want this to be very mild then only add a small amount of chilli, however its surprising that many children like their food and will love this spicy recipe...
