I liked the concept but modified it for the tastes of my family. I used a packet of taco seasoning with some taco sauce with the meat. We added 1/2 green pepper and 1 sm. onion to the meat. Also used guacamole chips and Doritos on the top instead of just corn chips. It added extra color. It only needed to bake for about 10 minutes in our 375 oven. I suggest letting it rest for a few minutes before cutting. Served with lime chips and bean dip. 5 year old daughter ate two pieces !!
