I have Marianne to thank for this recipe - she mentioned it on the buzz, and I just had to try it (= I made this for a baby shower, following other reviewers' suggestions of adding 1/2 packet of taco seasoning to the filling. It was so good! I liked it served with tortilla chips - which I feel made the chip crust somewhat redundant. I will make this curstless next time . . . I also subbed 6 oz plain greek yogurt for the sour cream on top. I wanted to top it with green onion, diced tomato, and black olives - but just plain was too overwhelmed and ran out of time. So I just used the olives. It was just plain yummy! Some people were a bit confused by it, thinking it was a dessert - even though it was sitting by the chips, and was topped by olives - but once they got past that, everyone liked it (=

I made this for a get-together with friends. It turned out great and was really pretty when plated and topped with the tomatos and bellpeppers. I was asked for the recipe several times!

I am rating this recipe as 3-stars because I made it as the recipe read and it really needed more flavor. The second time I made it, I added taco seasoning to the cream cheese mixture as well as taco seasoning to the sour cream layer. Make sure you use AUTHENTIC tortilla chips for the crust. I used Tostidos the first time I made it and they were complete mush. The second time I used a thick, higher quality chip and the crust was much better. I would definatately suggest adding some spice to this recipe. It has a very pretty presentation...

We really enjoyed this, however, I did not care for the crust at all! It was like soggy and chewy. I was expecting it to be more crunchy, but other than that this was a hit for our family 'dip night'. I halved the recipe and baked it in my 6" springform pan which ended up being the perfect size. I also added taco seasoning to the cream cheese mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and still used the whole can of chilies...it was very tasty. I topped it with tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, a little shredded cheddar cheese and chives. I will definately be using this recipe again, but trying something different for the crust! Thanks for sharing. :)

Love everything about it. Well, add in some taco seasoning, then it's an amazing recipe. I think it may have been bland without the seasoning, so I'm glad I added it. I used the Taco Seasoning I recipe from this site using good quality spices, which I think helps. Used maybe a tablespoon or two? Use your judgement to suit your preference. The yellow bell would've been a nice color but I used orange since I had it and I added tomato. Fun to make your own. Didn't find an issue with the crust--some people said it was chewy or whatever... it was a hit and I look forward to making again! 16 is probably a good guess for how many it serves--took to party with 8 people and it was about half gone (with other food served, of course).

Got lots of looks...definitely something different. I followed others suggestions and added taco seasoning to cream cheese layer and to sour cream. Then topped with chopped peppers, tomatoes, and black olives. It did look impressive! I served it on a large platter and surrounded it with tortilla chips so people would know it was a dip-like appetizer. Got good reviews from those who tried it. However, I was very disappointed in the crust...the chips turned out chewy. Would make again if I could figure out my trouble with the crust, or an alternative to it.

Thanks to all for their suggestions about adding flavor. I almost over-cooked it, but it was okay. Everyone thought it had refried beans in it, not that I almost burned it, LOL. I added cilantro to the tomatoes, peppers, and onion on top then sprinkled with black olive slices.

I found this to be a very good recipe, but did find that if you didn't explain what it was to guests they were weird about it! I did add a package of taco seasoning to the cream cheese and really liked it. Served with tortilla chips
