WOW! This was great! I followed the recipe except I omitted the corn (personal taste) and used grilled fajita beef (what I had on hand). I have never seen a recipe like this using diced corn tortillas and I am amazed to say that I doubt I will fiddle with this recipe at all! Thanks for posting! :)

Wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have any red peppers so I used Mexicorn with the peppers mixed in. They were delicious and my husband's words were "instant classic":) So I think we have a winner!

This is a unique and fresh recipe. Nice for something different. I didn't have 8 corn tortillas and used 6, but that was plenty. Very nice.
