Definitely in the comfort food category, especially if you like Mexican food. This dish whips up super fast, and all you need is some salsa, chips and guacamole! Hint: Freeze the leftover chipotle peppers to lengthen their usability.

I made this for a New Years party but used turkey instead of ground beef. HUGE success!
