Awesome!!
This is so easy and absolutely yummy! All three of my boys *loved* this recipe as well as my husband and in-laws. I did use a bit more shredded cheese because we love things cheesy, and I used half of a can of chiles instead of the whole can so it wouldn't be too spicy for the kids. Other than that the recipe is perfect just the way it is. This is now a permanent recipe in my recipe box!

Another Family Pleaser!
I love a spicy mexican dish, and this easy one was no exception. I used a can of diced tomatoes with chillis, added black beans, corn,and added a little more taco seasoning. We love the 4 cheese mexican blend so I always use that, and added extra in the dish and on top. I only had a small amount left to reheat for lunch the next day, but it was awesome!
