    This recipe was really great! My husband and I love mexican food, so when I can find something with the words, "taco" or "mexican cheese" in it, I get excited . We used organic blue corn chips (which did not get chewy after cooking, bonus!), and I didn't crush them before I measured out 2 cups (don't know if I did that correctly). We also used veggie beef, light sour cream, and 2% taco blend cheese. My husband ate about 3 servings in one go, but it was enough to sustain 2 evenings for the two of us. I liked how the cresent rolls formed a semi-crunchy crust on the bottom, kind of like a thin pizza crust. Overall, I enjoyed this immensely! Thank you!
