Easy way to use up extra tortillas or chips!

This is just a basic recipe. The following changes can be made:

- Use tortilla chips in place of the tortillas (they don’t have to be sautéed, just warmed with the sauce)

- Sauté some onions or peppers in the olive oil before adding the other ingredients

- Sauté shredded chicken or other meat before adding the other ingredients

- Add cumin to sauce mixture

- Top with other Mexican style toppings like green onions, slices, cilantro, or sour cream!
