Made this tonight with some slight variations. I used whole wheat tortillas instead of corn, and used one can of diced tomatoes with the chilies (mild) already inside. Also only put in 1/8 tsp of chili powder. Kids really react if the food is too spicy. I enjoyed it and so did my husband. - 11/16/09

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't tried it with whole wheat tortillas because they have higher calorie count, but I'll bet it's delicious. Glad you enjoyed this recipe. It's one of my husband's favorites.
