I had a similar recipe growing up!! One of my favorites. We used dorito’s or other corn chip. Also used enchilada sauce.

Sounds wonderful! I will probably substitute tortilla chips for the fritos though. Think even the kiddos will like this one!

This was seriously delicious. I used freshly-chopped jalapenos instead of green bell pepper (and added it at the end instead of cooking them). It was AMAZING. I also put a dollop of plain greek yogurt when serving. YUM!!!!

This was absolutely delicious! I was a little worried that it wouldn’t ever turn into anything and it took me much longer than 30 minutes to make, but my patience payed off! :) I will definitely make this again! (I used the homemade taco seasoning,too- it was brilliant!)
