I grew up in Phoenix, and my husband is from Texas. When we lived in New York, we really missed Southwest-style food, so I created this recipe. It's been a staple through the years.—Barbara Westbrook, Gainsville, Texas

Looking for easy weekday recipe, and this certainly is one. Only change I would make is forget the Tortilla chips and serve it with soft taco.

We never have leftovers!! Everyone loves this dish. It has even won 1st place for our sons Boy Scout troop dutch oven cooking competition. Took it home for over 22 family members during hunting season and had them all asking for the recipe. We have eaten it with wraps too.
