The following is a guest post from my good friend Lynn. I have never made a recipe of hers that my family did not love!
I love to cook and bake and I love to spend all day in the kitchen, but the reality is that I do not usually have time to do that. On a day to day basis I need quick and easy recipes that contain everyday ingredients. I need meals that I can get on the table without much work or time.
This recipe is just that. It is quick and easy and it uses ingredients that I usually have in my kitchen.
This recipe is also a great way to use up those leftover tortilla chip crumbs that are all crushed or stale at the bottom of the bag. Does anyone else have a bag of chips in their pantry that looks like that? I hope I am not the only one that has that problem.
I have a similar version of this that I make with Doritos and Chicken that my kids also love, but I think I like this beef version a little better. However, both of them are favorites in our family.
I hope you enjoy!

I made this tonight for dinner and the entire family loved it! They voted it a keeper.
P.S. I added a can of drained, rinsed black beans and substituted tomato sauce for the diced tomatoes (picky eaters).
