I was born and raised on a farm and still live on one with my husband and kids. We build up hearty appetites, and this Mexican-style dish always pleases.—Becky Paxton, Afton, Iowa

I did add some extra spices like, cumin and Mrs. Dash. Then used chili cheese corn chips. I put the chips on the plate so they would not get soggy setting on top of this dish. Thanks for the recipe.
