1. Who loves Mexican?  I do!  2.  Who loves a meal that can be quickly thrown together in one pan?  I do!This is a go-to meal for those days when you're starving and need to whip something up in a jiffy.  This recipe is in a pretty basic form and can easily be jazzed up to suit your tastes.

* The leftover tomatoes can be frozen in one or two small tupperware to be used later. 

** I make it even simpler by using an all-natural taco seasoning (Simply Organic or Trader Joes both make good ones), but you can also mix up your own blend of cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne (if you like it spicy).
