I prepared this exactly by the recipe. I wanted to test it on DH and myself because I was considering giving it as gifts. It is very good. The spice packets will be included as gifts for Christmas to several of my friends and co-workers. Thanks GrandmaG!

This is very good. I made it as a Pick-A-Chef recipe, Nov. '04. I made it as a dip instead of a spice packet, & refrigerated overnight. I used fat-free sour cream & mayo, and I followed it exactly except added more cayenne for a kick. Served with chips and Mini Tacos #74301 -- very good! Thank you!
