This is a good Mexican twist on a classic Southern dish. Be sure you like taco seasoning...there's a lot in there and the flavor really comes through. Wondering if halving the amount would make it more subtle...without being under-seasoned. I think I crushed the chips too much, because it didn't have the crunch I thought it would.
