Steps:
- 1. I poured the Fritos into a large bowl, added the cooked ground beef and 2 c of cheese and tossed it to mix.
- 2. I emptied it into my elec skillet, but you can certainly use a casserole dish and heat it in the oven.
- 3. I sprinkled on the rest of the cheese and poured the enchilada sauce on top. I set my skillet to the "warm" setting, placed the lid on, and in about 15 min it was bubbly hot and the cheese was melted.
- 4. Garnish with sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa, salad, whatever your heart desires.
