Last night my family and I wanted to make something with a Mexican flair, but we didn’t want to eat out. So, my son and I put our heads together and came up with this easy but tasty version of a Skillet Mexican Casserole. The tortillas on the bottom give it a strong base to cut it in a pie shape, and the cream of mushroom soup–hesitant as I was to add it in–added smoothness and texture to the mix. I recommend trying this easy dish. We’re adding it to our regular monthly menu.

Uncover and bake an additional ten minutes until cheese is bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips.
