I brought this to a party. Some people liked it. Some people said it could use a little stronger taco flavor. I tend to agree with that. Chef pammyowl added a packet of taco seasoning. Good idea. I love the idea of rolling the cheese log in the crushed Fritos.

Yum yum! A perfect food for Football parties or casual gatherings. The only change I made was that I used grated cheddar and threw in a packet of taco seasoning. A real winner, thanks for posting!
