I made this the other day, and we all enjoyed it! Instead of the individual spices I used an envelope of taco seasoning, and used a can of Rotel (in addition to the tomato sauce) because I didn't have a can of chilis on hand - you really do need more liquid than the can of tomato sauce alone and the little bit of water anyway. I also chopped up a couple of sweet peppers, since I had extra. I'll definitely be making this again - thank you!
