i kicked this up a notch by sauteeing the onion in EVOO and adding a few small sweet red peppers. used thawed frozen corn and cooked dried beans to cut back on sodium & pinch pennies. to add more flavor, i used a tsp. of cumin, some oregano, salt, pepper, used a jar of mango salsa in place of the stewed tomatoes, added about 1/2 cup of leftover shredded taco chicken meat from a slowcooker meal last week, substituted pepper jack cheese in place of the cheddar, and topped with crumbled leftover taco shells, added for the last 10 minutes of baking. definitely a meal i will make again!
