    I like that this is a make-ahead dinner. This is also great for those summer nights when it is too hot to turn on the oven.

    We loved this! I used black beans and fresh salsa that is sold in the deli/produce section. I also added avocado. My husband wants this put into our go-to meal "rotation"

    This was a hit! We halved the recipe and also used black beans instead and added avocado like Jill suggested. It's hard to find good vegetarian/vegan options that both my husband and I like. (He is the vegetarian and I am the meat eater not eating dairy at the moment--nursing baby #2 who is sensitive to dairy).

    Tasted a lot better with the bean mixture warmed up. My husband thought it had too much onion but I liked it.

    We have used this mixture warmed up for tacos and burritos and liked it even more that way too.

    the fat content seems really high...I'm assumming it's from the cheese & chips?

    Hi Brandy. Yes, those items would have the most fat out of the ingredients listed in this recipe. However, if you look at the labels of the actual ingredients you use for this recipe you may be able to find some brands of chips or cheese using 2% milk (instead of full fat whole milk) that would lower these numbers. Also it is important to note the disclosure statement regarding the nutritional data listed above, which states: This nutrition information is an estimate only.

    Just wanted to recommend adding a chill time to this recipe since it calls for chill time.

    @Christopher, I added 1 hour for chill time. This should be plenty of time for the flavors to marry. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

    I have been making this recipe for years to serve at a large get together and it is huge hit every time. I add chopped green/red/orange peppers, a can of chopped tomatoes, cumin, chili peppers and fresh corriander to taste. Just before serving, I stir in the taco chips, lettuce and use 1000 Island dressing to kick up the flavour even more. You will be surprized!

    Corn on cob

    @Anonymous, are you looking for recipes for corn on the cob? Here are some suggestions: grill it in the husk (pull husks back and remove corn silk then soak in water for about 15-20 minutes to keep the husks from catching on fire. Then you can use the peeled back husks for a handle!) OR remove husks completely and boil it in water for about 8-10 minutes, remove from water slather butter on it and season with a little salt. OR you could cut the corn from the cob and saute it with some garlic and a little chopped onion in butter or olive oil.

    Sorry, Anonymous. The comment just said "corn on the cob" and usually that happens when someone was searching and hit the wrong button! :) Thanks for sharing!

    Waaay too much onion. Had to throw it away because our eyes were watering just eating it. And I used 2 very small onions. The salsa has onions in it already so I 'll omit the onion next time

    Yes :) I used 1/2 small onion, but doesn't really need it!

    @Kristen- I am sorry to hear that this recipe did not work out for you. Onions are defiantly one of those flavor elements that vary depending on personal preference. As you can see from previous comments that others enjoyed this recipe as originally written with 2 onions. But as you cook you can change recipes to suit your taste. I like onion in most things I cook, but prefer only about 1/2 an onion. I have edited this recipe to show 1 onion, as more of a reasonable measurement.

    I used black beans and kidney beans mixed together. it was good. we just had too much. I made the variation for 6 as I have a family of 5. it was easily enough for 10 to 12. I couldn't find the size cans mentioned in the recipe but I had about the same total overall with what I bought. I will definitely make again, just not as much.

    As a variation I will be adding a pound of ground turkey and mixing the taco seasoning with the groud turkey ahead of time to work the flavor in...it should give me lunch and dinner for at least two days.

    This was good. I added browned lean ground beef and low sodium taco seasoning. It was still very salty. I may add two cans of beans next time.
