We aren't picky people for the most part, but no one in my fam could eat this. I used scoop type corn chips and they did get really soggy on the bottom. I blended the cottage cheese to smooth it out and that part was ok, but we couldn't get past the soggy chips.

I loved this recipe, but I made a few changes. I cooked a whole pound of beef and added taco seasoning and black beans. I layered it in a 9x13-inch pan, and instead of using chips I used tortillas and then topped it with chips and grated cheese. Delicious! I will definitely make this again.

I was looking for something Mexican and came across this recipe. Read the reviews and decided to try it. It was a wonderful surprise! My family liked it very much... even my husband who doesn't like cottage cheese. It's a keeper!

I added taco seasoning to the ground meat and added black beans. I also used organic white corn chips. I used HOT salsa for extra flavor.

This recipe looked amazing on paper but was NOT good when made. The chips became mooshy and the texture was bad.
