Mexican Supper

So here is my Mexican Supper recipe. This is a favorite of my family - my husband grew up with it.

1 1b. chicken or ground turkey (I have used both but used the turkey in the frozen meal)
1 pkg. taco seasoning
3/4 c. water
1 can cream soup (used mushroom)
1 can 4 oz. green chilies diced
1/4 c. onion (used dehydrated onions)
1 pkg. (12) corn tortillas
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce (or 2 small cans)
grated cheese

Brown meat and onions together. Stir in taco seasoning, water and soup. Simmer 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and chilies. Tear tortillas into bite-size pieces and stir in until well-moistened. Top with grated cheese and simmer 10 more minutes. Can be transferred to a casserole dish and baked at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Serves 4-6. Doubles well.

(I put the meal into a casserole dish before adding the cheese, added cheese and froze. If I am not freezing the meal, I usually just leave the food in the fry pan and let it simmer for the 10 minutes, then add the cheese to the top and serve from the pan. We also love eating this meal with tortilla chips. ENJOY!!!)
