Pretty easy. I specifically looked for a recipe with no "cream of" soups or canned enchillada sauce, so this was perfect. I didn't have diced tomoatoes, so I skipped it, I also used taco seasoning instead of chili powder and cumin. I also added some sour cream. I also didn't have black beans, so I used pinto beans. I guess I changed it quite a bit, but it was yummy.
