This recipe got rave reviews with my dinner guests. I did make a few changes however. I reduced the amount of ground beef to 1lb, and added 1/2lb of Chorizo sausage. I used flour tortilla's instead of corn, as I prefer the flavor, and finally, I used the Mexican Velveeta instead of the plain. I browned the meat, onions, and green pepper the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator due to lack of time. All of it came together quite well. I would suggest drainig the tomatoes if you use canned, as it was a little 'wet'.

I used Chi-Chi's beef taco meat sold in meat department in place of chuck. Found ranch style beans at Whole Foods.
