- 1 (1.4-ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix

Use preshredded Monterey Jack cheese, available in the dairy section of the supermarket, to save both shredding and cleanup time.

The olive oil called for in this recipe makes a significant taste contribution. If you do not use olive oil often, seek out the smallest bottle you can find and get the most flavor for the least money.
