Noted that many of the SW, Mexican and Latin dishes lack the seasoning to characterize them.

This is very bland without adding some type of seasoning. Very disappointing

It's a good start. Definitely needs 1 small onion, a couple cloves garlic, a can of black beans for good measure, and taco seasoning (chili powder would work). After that, it's a keeper!

I make something similar ... a family fave that we call "Hamburger Cornpone Pie". I use Rotel tomatoes and add black beans and pinto beans - a little chili powder, garlic salt to taste. (Once when out of chili powder I used a packet of Taco Seasoning & it was a hit!) Kids of alllll ages love it! Just add a side salad and you're set.
