Kid-friendly Main Dish Mexican Seasonal cooking Soups and stews

This is a great recipe for fall and winter. It can be made on the stove top, or even your slow-cooker. If you are tailgaiting or at outdoor sporting events, it can be served in little individual sized Frito bags if you are careful how you open the bags. T
