1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

Sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese and next 3 ingredients.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Top with avocado.

"Trust me":officechair:

Seriously, this recipe rocks, especially if you juice it with "hot" enchalada sauce. We have a bunch of same type recipes, and we're tossing all of them after fixin' this one.

Update: Substitute Kraft Taco Cheese for the "bland" Cheddar.
