Instead having to cook up the meat and adding chili powder, I just used leftover taco meat that I had in the fridge from the tacos we had a couple nights before. I also added some chopped onion. Other than that, everything else was the same. Thanks for the recipe and I will definitely make this again!

This was great! I added corn and black olives the second time around and was just great! My kids love it. Sometimes we use Dorito's, too. YUM!

This is one of my favorites! Something about the salsa/mayo combo is very good, and not too spicy for our young daughter. I usually use ground turkey breast, and tonight I added black beans to the meat mixture and it was very good. The more fiber, the better! I add half the cheese, then the tortilla chips, then the rest of the cheese. Don't overbake! We love avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, lettuce and more salsa on ours.

Thanks TOH!

Yum...I go lighter on the mayo now and it's even better

It was okay...the cheese got a little hard on top so next time I'm not going to add the cheese til half way through.

I love this recipe! I have also used Doritos in place of the tortilla chips!
