This dish is really good. I made just some minor changes. Instead of sour cream I used Greek yogurt and instead of "textured vegetable protein" I used the soy "ground beef" with Mexican flavoring (yet still used 1 tsp of taco spices). I think if I had not used the "ground beef" with Mexican flavoring it would have been a little to bland for me. Also, the next time I'm going to use 10 corn tortillas instead of 8. Over all good dish!
