What a family hit! My husband and 4-year-old son loved it. Made it as written the first time. Next time, will make two adjustments. First, crushed tomatoes instead of diced (husband hates chunks of tomato and picked every single one out). Next, will add 1 T. instead of 1 t. of taco seasoning. I thought it was just a little bit bland. May even add a dash of red pepper.

I make this all the time with some adjustments. I add about 3/4 cup velveeta, cubed to the soup and heat to melt. I also use Rotel tomatoes with green chilis instead of just diced tomatoes, black beans (drained) in place of corn, increase rice to 1 cup, and use the whole pkg of taco seasoning. My 10 year old grandson just loves this!! :)

OMG!!! Awesome!! However, I used more cheese and I could not find mexicorn so I just bought frozen corn and a bag of frozen green and red peppers, filled the diced tomato can with corn then half with the peppers and put it in. I never drained the tomatos due to no water with corn. I also served it with crushed chips over the tops! So easy and a must try!!! YUMMY!! =0)
