This was quite good, and I will make again. Very simple and quick. I used Pinto beans instead of Chili beans and added 1/2 can of drained rinsed black beans and bout 1/2 cup corn as well. My picky son actually liked it! And we did use it use leftovers on tortillas as well!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. Plus you can use the left overs for a delicious midnight snack on tortilla chips.

My husband doesn''t cook much, but he made this one and it turned out quite good. We used cheddar cheese, but I think it would be a lot nicer with a cheese blend.
