This recipe is terrific, but after reading all the reviews, I made a few changes and it turned out great. I eliminated the tomatoes completely, as that would make it more of a Jambalaya and left out the celery. I reduced the meats to 2 chourizo (Portuguese) sausages, cut in 1/2 lenthwise, then sliced into 1/3" half-moons and 2 Andouille sausages, cut into 1/4" slices. I reduced the shrimp to 1 1/4 lbs. I added 1/4 red bell pepper chopped. I increased the garlic to 4 cloves, minced. Added 1 packet of Goya Sazon (contains cilantro and annato)in Step 2. I increased the chicken broth to 3 3/4 cups to make up for the reduction in liquid resulting for eliminating the tomatoes. Took this to a family event and received rave reviews.

I read all the reviews and made the following changes: After browing the grd beef I added 1 packet of taco seasoning with 2/3 cup water. Also seasoned with garlic powder, chile powder and salt. I used a can of drained/rinsed pinto beans instead of the chile beans. I did not crush the tortilla chips. I put down a layer of whole chips, meat sauce, sour cream, then another 1/2 layer of chips, meat sauce, green onions and tomatoes and topped with the cheese. This was terrific! A definite keeper.

This recipe is sooo good! I made it exactly as the recipe states and it was absolutely delicious. It makes a quite a large pan but will not go to waste. It was so good I even had some of the leftovers for breakfast with a cup of coffee.
