This was a good, average dish. In fairness, I did not have fresh herbs so used dried which undoubtedly affected the taste. There was a lot of salt and pepper added by individuals at the table. Also, the potatoes did not crisp up. Next time I will use fresh herbs and try others' suggestions regarding drying the potatoes, putting spices under the skin, draining the liquid halfway through the baking time, etc.

As written, this is ok -- a good basic recipe, but kind of bland, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. To perk it up a bit, I followed others' suggestions, by adding taco seasoning to the meat & baking the chips at 350 for about 8 minutes. I prepared 6 separate plates. On top of the chips, I thinly layered the beans (which were heated first) & meat. I topped that with nacho cheese salsa warmed in the microwave, then mild tomato salsa, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, some chopped tomato, shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. I served extras of the chips & toppings on the side, along with hot sauce and sliced jalapeno peppers for the more adventurous. There were no leftovers! Next time, I will add shredded lettuce to the mix.

These sure live up to their name! They are UGLY! My only problem was I followed other reviewers' suggestions and sprayed the muffin pans with cooking spray. I had a terrible time getting the dough to stay put and hold its shape. It kept slipping around and shrinking back down into the tin, so I washed out the muffin tins and started over, lightly greasing them with shortening. This worked perfectly. Though not very pretty, they disappeared quickly. Folks were looking for more long after they were gone!
