Here is a quick appetizer fix up for a hungry bunch of group at any time of the day. This is a high in protein Mexican delicacy, that can be fixed in no time. Just remember to stack up a canned nacho cheese and refried beans in your pantry. Though it is considered as an appetizer, this dish can satisfy the hungry tummies and give you time for other things for a while. This has become one of our party favorite and my great bunch of nieces and nephews will say Yes! to this dish anytime.

1 lb Ground Beef
1 pkt (1.25oz) Taco Seasoning Mix
