My family really liked this one--though I had to alter it in favor of on-hand ingredients. I replaced the andouille with smoked sausage, the flour tortillas with corn tortillas, the celery with mushrooms, and the paprika with chili powder and cayenne to taste. It came out smooth and rich, with a nice mellow flavor that worked well with the corn tortillas.
