I used the refried beans also instead of corn, and added more cheese, my 13 year old and husband really liked it. I could use alittle more spice, so I'd add some red peppers or jalapenos next time for my taste buds. Overall very good!

I made this and absolutely loved it. It was easy and me and my roomies thought it was fabulous. I added my own touches though. Instead of corn i used a 16 oz can of refried beans, all of the ingredients were, low-fat, fat-free, or reduced in some way. I also used tostadas instead of the tortilla chips. If you love mexican food, you'll love this!

Pretty good...hubby especially liked it; 3-year-old wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I think I'll put some diced tomatoes, jalepenos and lettuce after pulling out of the oven next time.
