I made this last week and my family loved it but I make some tweaks I uses Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and Dorito's instead of tortilla chips. It was so yummy. We are having it again tonight but I'm going to do taco meat with it this time.

I did not care for this, but my family thought it was good. I found it to be too dry and lacking in flavor.

I followed the recipe as printed and this was so dry even my husband, who hardly ever says negative remarks on my new recipes, said don't make this again.

TEXASIZE THIS, instead of chili use a dry taaco, same difference!!! As U cook meat add yr Fav ROTEL, ifin u find pepper jack cheese add spice!!!!!!

Simple and awesome!
