This is an awesome recipe I got from a coworker. I made it with my students and they loved it! So many of them came back the following week telling me that they made it for their families. It is really tasty and super easy. This recipe is halved so if you want to make it for a large family, or if you want leftovers, I suggest you double it. :) You can even add random things in if you want. It is basically a casserole, so you can toss whatever you want in. I added black beans to mine, substituted light sour cream for the mayo, and used Cheesy Doritos as my chips. Yum.

triangle up over filling and tuck under wide ends. (Filling will show through
the sides).
