Mexican Layered Appetizer image

This is an instant hit at any party and is lower in fat than most Mexican recipes. Of course, you can make it with the full-fat ingredients if you like. Experiment and add other garnishes, such as sausage, pepperoni, black beans or jalapenos.

This appetizer was delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still great.
