I am a big fan of Mexican entree's. My husband actually complains about my love for them (I will always chose mexican). That is why it was so disappointing to have this for dinner. It was not only missing something it was dry cornbread with meat. It does not have the normal kick you would find in ethnic food. It was missing a lot and left you feeling like there was something not quite right with it. As other reviews have claimed they jazzed it up with many condiments and modifications, which makes it something else all together.

Great recipe. I used morning star crumbles instead of beef. Added chopped green chiles to the cornbread (didn't have any Jiffy cornbread mix. I did a google search and found a "clone Jiffy cornbread mix" recipe that was super easy), and I added olives. I added just a little bit of shredded cheddar/jack cheese before adding the cornbread layer. I put sour cream on the table for those who wanted. Really great! Thanks.
