Step 1
Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
Step 2
Stir the soup, picante sauce, water and tortillas in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir the beef mixture. Top with the cheese and let the dish rest for a few minutes, until the cheese melts.
Step 3
Garnish with the diced tomato and chopped cilantro, if desired, then serve.
