Tortilla chips, chili powder and cayenne pepper lend to the Mexican flavor of this snack mix, while corn syrup and brown sugar add a bit of sweetness. I like to package it in holiday tins to give as gifts.-Beverly Phillips, Duncanville, Texas

The Tijuana Tidbits were a bit bland for my liking. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a fan of cream cheese, but I'm glad I did! The cream cheese added a nice richness to the dish.
