1 small container sour cream 2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 small can diced green chilies 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 pkg large flour tortillas toppers (salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc)

  2. Brown ground beef & prepare according to directions on the seasoning packet.
  3. While beef is browning, mix together the soup, chilies, & sour cream.
  4. When beef is done, allow to cool slightly. Spoon into flour tortillas & place in the bottom of a 9″x13″ baking dish. 
  5. Top with soup mixture & cheese. 
  6. Bake for 30 minutes until cheese is melted to your liking.
  7. Serve with optional toppers.

Chef’s Note: I like extra spicy so I usually put several dashes of hot sauce in the meat with the seasoning mix. Also, sometimes I add some cheese to the beef mixture as it’s cooling for extra cheesiness.
