Made this tonight as directed. It was pretty good, but we all thought it would be better without the tortillas. They didn't really add to it and made the texture a little strange. We like it enough to make it again, just will leave the tortillas out next time (it will make great nachos that way). I put in about 2 Tbsp of the taco seasoning, but I'll do 1/2 a pack or the whole pack next time.
