Notes
  1. If you like sour cream, you can use unsweetened plain yogurt instead.
  2. You can add other veggies as well. Traditionally, this would have corn and black or pinto beans in it as well, but I leave those out. Occasionally, I add fresh Jalapenos.
  3. You could also make tacos by wrapping the ingredients in Romaine Leaves instead of a Tortilla.
