Cheesy Tortilla Skillet

Source of Recipe
From "Half Baked Harvest Every Day" by Tieghan Gerard

Recipe Introduction
"My sister-in-law Lyndsie is obsessed with tortilla soup. I swear, every winter she asks me to create a new recipe for it. Well, I already have (a delicious) one on HBH, but this dish is my compromise. It is basically the toppings of tortilla soup in a skillet, lots and lots of vegetables, and just a touch of cheese. Lynds is a big fan of this one! I love to use Siete Foods tortilla chips for this dish. They come in really delicious flavors like jalape�o lime...and nacho cheese, which I swear taste just like the Doritos of my childhood. Use any flavor you love!"
