Okay friends. I first made this recipe for my family FIVE YEARS AGO. And it has become a family favorite, and has made at least two appearances on the table every month since. We've made even more modifications to the original recipe that I posted, and to be honest, the original doesn't even compare. We've upped the convenience by using frozen diced onions and frozen sweet corn. The frozen sweet corn is necessary because it completely changes the meal. We also just increased the salsa to a full cup because no one wants to wash a second measuring cup.
Seriously y'all. This recipe is the real deal. It's even requested as special birthday meals, because the kids have grown up loving this! We're love it as is, but you can definitely top it with whatever your heart fancies. Make this! Your family will not be disappointed.
*For a milder crunchy taco helper, remove rib and seeds from inside of the jalapeño.
**You can totally sub half of this for water, but if I am opening a box of chicken stock, I'm just going to throw the entire thing in. I will forget the other half of the box and it will go to waste. That's just the type of person I am.
