CHANGES
Added 1/2 cup shredded cheese to meat mixture
Added 3/4 cup shredded cheese to the top
Used 1/2 tsp chili powder instead of 1 tsp chili seasoning
I didn't have 90% lean beef so I used 3/4 lb of 85/15 ground beef
I used garlic powder instead of minced garlic
I put about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into mine and a little over a 1/2 cup into Jim's. On top of Jim's I put about 1/2 cup of cheese and on mine I put about a 1/4 cup.
This changed the points to: 12
(wow. I changed alot. It's almost like a different recipe now lol)
JIM's REVIEW
3
He thought it had too much onion. If it had less onions it would have been a 4.
MEL'S REVIEW
3.5
I agree with Jim on it needing less onions. I loved how crunchy the tortillas got. The edges of mine were like baked chips.
OVERALL
We will definately be doing this one again but next time less onions. It was a quick and easy recipe. It had a lot of flavor. For Jim's dinner I served it with a side of beans with cheese on top.

Just wanted to let you know that we tried this recipe tonight and really liked it. We tried it with the Turkey. I figured if we never tried anything different, we wouldn't know the difference. Dan even thought I put too much salsa and sour cream on top. I was a little nervous about the portion sizes. I did not think it would fill us up, but it did. I couldn't even finish my second one. Thanks for the recipe.
