    I enter some of the ingredients in the MFP database under Recipe but I didn't include the crushed chips (no amount given), or the dressing. I also used low salt or reduced sodium corn and beans, and extra lean ground beef (94/6).

    I made the recipe for 6 people and I got the following values: 341 calories; 22 carbs; 455 sodium; 19 protein, 7 fat and 7 fiber.
