ORTEGA TACO BAKE

This came from a bottle of Ortega Taco Sauce. I have been holding onto to this little 2 by 3 inch label with the recipe on it for years, so I figured I better post it before I lose it! If I don't have taco shells, sometimes I use broken tortilla chips. I did tweak it to our tastes a bit. We really enjoy it...hope you do, too.

This makes a very large casserole dish -- so is especially good to take to potlucks and large gatherings. I have never tried to cut the recipe in half -- but I'm sure it could be done without any problem. (I believe I have the size of the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix right -- they are the small boxes)
