Taco Soup

Simply Maurie Kay

This Taco Soup recipe is for those nights that you want something really easy to make! I use the word soup lightly because it isn’t soupy at all. I love to make this on cold nights and serve it with shredded cheese, Tostada chips, and some avocado. Taco soup is excellent reheated, and it also […]
