Yesterday I shared a Mexican style recipe. Today I’m sharing another one. What can I say? I love Mexican food! Especially easy to make Mexican food.

School starts back up today. How many of you feel my pain? I’m taking three courses. That’s on top of a full time job and a full time blog. Saying I’m a busy gal is somewhat of an understatement. I’m an extremely busy gal. I checked out the course syllabi for the three classes I’m taking. Wow. It’s definitely going to be a handful of work this semester. At least I won’t have assignments due every week for each class. But nonetheless, there will be a lot of work to be done. But it’s all good. I have 6 classes left to complete until I can graduate with a bachelors degree in Organizational Management. I will be graduating in May of 2014, right before Blogher Food. Happy graduation present to me!

So back to quick and easy meals.

Quick and easy Mexican meals. Dinner is brought to you with two awesome features! You know what else I like about this quick and easy meal? There were leftovers. Which means I don’t have to make dinner for at least another night or two this week. Heck yea! This gal is happy.

What do you do for dinners during a busy week?

I added a little secret ingredient to this recipe. Chobani yogurt. Yep. I made the filling creamy with Chobani yogurt rather than sour cream. Remember that huge box of Chobani that I received a while back? I still have some. I decided to put it to good use in last night’s dinner. Hooray for yogurt!

    • Thank you for your comment; however, I do not agree with it. It’s still a skillet dinner in my book because everything is made in the skillet.
