I needed a 'quick and easy' dinner today and this was perfect, mainly because I could make sensible substitutions! I used ground turkey instead of beef and for the green pepper/jalapeno pepper...I used a 4-oz. can of diced green chiles, drained. I had 7 flour tortillas to use up so I used 3 as the base and just built up from there. Also, I used a 2 cup package of already shredded Mexican blend of cheese that I had on hand. The refrieds are easier to spread if you heat them up a bit beforehand. Thanks Tanya...this is a simple, yet tasty recipe that is very versatile and uses up stuff that may be hanging around in your pantry and fridge. It's a Smart recipe!!
