I was looking for some inspiration, again trying to stick with items I most likely had in my pantry and this fit the bill. Easy and delicious. The only change I made was using crushed Tostitos instead of Fritos because that's what I had on hand and I omitted the onion because DH doesn't like them. He said "Very Good" and then went back for another plate. There are also leftovers, which makes me happy as I now have lunch today. Thanks for posting.
