I especially like the dishes made from ground beef. Thanks for this great recipe.
I believe I would use cilantro in place of the parsley and give it a bit of a kick with salsa, after cooking the ground beef with some cayenne in addition to the chili powder, or even some taco seasoning (although I’m not nuts about those prepackaged taco seasonings). I would probably top it off with some grated pepper jack and give it a squeeze of lime juice right before serving. I have done bowls like this with shredded leftover pork roast. Also very good when seasoned well.
Omg i love this it looks so deelicious, defintely makin this tonight. love your blog btw
