I used smoked sausage instead of beef. It was good but hard to keep lit.

This was actually DELICIOUS!!! I was a little concerned that there were no tomatoes and I kept thinking the corn tortillas would be mushy, but it was excellent! My 2-year old ate three helpings! I did add some spice (cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic salt), but otherwise it didn't need any modifications.

Made this for Sunday lunch. Doubled it to feed 14 people and it was a hit with all of them! Great flavor. Will make it again!

I Love this recipe. However, it requires a lot of ingredients. That is the only drawback in my opinion.
