Skillet enchiladas. yummmmm

I'm sure someone somewhere has a recipe for something like this but I just made it up several years ago and we loved it so much that we have eaten it on a regular basis since.

Sorry, but I don't deal in exact measurements. That is just the way I cook.

Dice and saute a medium onion then add some hamburger meat or ground turkey and brown it. (I use about 2 -1/2 lbs but I am feeding a family of 8) Then I turn the heat down and add in
seaonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, whatever you like)
2 -15 oz. cans of tomato sauce
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
A big 'ol scoop of sour cream or cream cheese (or kefir if your that type) or a combination.
And a couple of big 'ol handfuls of stale or left over tortilla chips that are too little to use with dip (or you can tear tortillas in to little bits and use those)
Stir and let it cook until the chips or tortillas are softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and then sprinkle grated cheese all over the top and let it melt.

This recipe could easily be adjusted for a smaller batch by using 1 or 1 -1/2 lbs. of meat and one can of each thing rather than 2. You could add re fried beans, or cheese soup, or nacho cheese, or black olives, or anything else that says "Mexican food" to you.

Ya see, just like I don't deal with exact measurements, I don't deal with exact ingredients all the time either.

It is so yummy.

that does sound good - i've got my personal version that is baked...mainly b/c i don't have a skillet big enough to put everything in that i'd want. but will definitely try this sometime
