I need help solving this equation!

Write the products for this reaction of an amino acid with the strong acid, Hydrochloric acid:
H2N-CH2-CH2-COOH + HCl = ?
I think its:
H2N-CH2-CH2-COOH + HCl = NH4Cl + CH3CH2COOH
But with a second look I thought maybe it's:
H2N-CH2-CH2-COOH + HCl = H3NCH2CH2COOH+ + Cl-
Help finding the products and an explanation would be nice!
