Have made this twice. First time, I followed the recipe to a T, good but a bit bland - especially since it is supposed to be Mexican. The second time I upped the chili pdr to 2T, used 1T oregano and 1T cumin. Medium picante sauce rounded out the flavors. Perfect amount of spice even for my child who thinks salt is "spicy." Will make again!
