This is favorite in my family. We leave out the green chiles in the sauce and the hot pepper in the filling, and recently I've made variations on the filling including chopped chicken breast, black beans, and/or different veggies - it's delicious every time, we've never been disappointed.07/30/09

This had the weirdest flavor - very artificial tasting. I would definitely never make it again. I threw out all of the leftovers.11/25/08
