I haven't tried this one and probably won't, since the original recipe came out in the 80's using cheeseburger mac. and doritoes i fell in love with it and tore the recipe out to keep it thank God i have it memorized cause it's not on this site and i lost my recipe. but you just add chili powder and cumin and garlic to the cheese burger and then once done add tomotes and green onions with black olives stir serve it over shredded lettuce and doritos and add sour cream!

I though this was excellent especially for being generally healty. My husband was slightly less thrilled but ate his on a tostada shell. I was skeptical at first because of the pasta and that there was no cheese, but I really liked it and will be having the leftovers today for lunch. Thanks!
