Yummy! The whole house smelled delicious as it was baking! I did not use the olives, my family will not eat them. I also used mild salsa instead of taco sauce. In place of the broken taco shells I used some broken Dorito Zesty Cheese nacho chips, my husband's favorite! Thank you for posting this great and eay to make recipe, I will be making this again!
