    Very tasty! I ended up adding onions as well as green pepper since I had them on hand. Really good, I'll definitely make it again. 2 thumbs up from the husband as well. - 3/8/09

    This was a great recipe. It was good enough that my husband and I went back for second, even my children liked it. This is a dish that I plan on making again and again. - 2/17/09

    This one is a keeper! we did add one more wrap on the bottom of the dish. It made it easier to cut and make four servings. I just added the extra calories in my tracker. - 2/13/09

    After reading several comments on this coming out soggy, I left out the tomato and the consistency seemed just right. I love the cream cheese mixed in this! It really helped to enhance the flavors. - 1/25/10

    This was very good. I added too much taco seasoning by accident but it was still good. I will definitely make it again!! - 2/7/09

    This was very good. I had found the recipe on kraftfoods.com and was excited to see it already entered in spark. My husband and I will definitely make it again. We absolutely loved it! The kids weren't too crazy about it but that's the way it goes with a lot of things. They like things plain. - 1/29/09
