I made this after seeing it talked about on GMA. I dont know what the fuss is about....entire family did not care for it. I could not find Taco Flavored chips so I just used plain Doritos. Followed the other directions exactly. This was a waste of ingredients..will not be making it again.

I saw this recipe on GMA and made it shortly thereafter. I lost the recipe a long time ago. Thanks for posting. The kids love it. So easy, too.
