This was great! I did omit the ground beef and Italian sausage for ground turkey, and no refried beans, ketchup or broth. Instead I used 2 cans of red enchilada sauce, and some red chile flakes for some heat. Served with fresh beans and sour cream on the side. Simply awesome! I will do this again and again!
