     I could eat this (at least) once a week! Thanks for sharing! I might tweak it using only 1/2 the taco mix, with ground turkey, and no salsa (just on the table for those who want it) and plain yogurt for the sour cream. mmm... my mouth is watering! LOL!! - 1/12/09

     I make thi dish quite often and everyone loves. I have a few variations though. Try using ground turkey instead of beef, Use lower sodium taco seasoning and cruch up your chips ( you can use much less without even realizing it). Even without the variations it is a very good recipe. - 1/4/09

     My family loves this. We use Baked Nacho Cheese Doritoes instead of Tostitoes. No salsa or sour cream but we do add black olives. - 6/4/07
