Update: Tex-Mex Mac and Cheese

Scott said:

I tried the Tex-Mex Mac and Cheese recipe and it came out awful. I had
to throw it out (well except for the cheese on top). Steve was right in
that I should have used taco seasoning instead of fajita. I should have
took his advice but I have to learn from my mistakes. This recipe does
have potential...the cream of tomato soup combine with the shell
macaroni gives it a real nice texture, i just have to get the seasonings
right. Also next time I'm going to use diced tomatoes instead of cherry
tomatoes. BTW what was it about the fajita seasoning that gave it the
bad flavor?

Fajita seasoning is usually [censored] from lemon/lime juice solids
and/or citric acid. It's more of a meat marinade than an general
seasoning.

Well that explains it then. I couldn't stand the lime chips that were so
popular when I used to live in TX.

All the artificial lime flavoring takes like Trix cereal to me.
And that includes all those different chips you mention (mostly
tortillas chips and some potato chips).
