Layered Mexican Bake

This was a hit with my family. :) We love almost anything Mexican. You should try it, it is easy and something that doesn't take very long to make. This came out of my last issue of Kraft foods Food & Family magazine. It used to be free, now they are making you buy it. I might think about subscribing, and paying because they always have quick, easy, yummy recipes. Here is the link to a better picture for this recipe...{click here}
