Fajita Caserole

So how many of you have larger familes like we do? Well then you know that serving fajitas to each of them can get costly. You are in luck though. Dragon and I happened upon making this as an act of desperation.... We thought we had two packages of tortillas when we only had one. Opps!! What we ended up with was a meal that was VERY good. AND it cut the cost of traditional Fajitas by 1/2!!! Now do not get me wrong nothing will replace the original but this comes in a good 2nd and comes in 1st with the budget.   I hope you enjoy!
