This gives tuna a whole new taste! Comes from my mothers favorite cookbook by Jackie Olden. The original recipe served 8-10, so I've down sized it a bit.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna (drained, we like solid white albacore)
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 cup milk
3 ounces tortilla chips
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
salt and pepper
parsley, and black olives for garnish
Directions:
1. Saute onions in oil, cook until transparent.
2. In a large bowl combine drained tuna,onions, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, pepper, eggs and milk, blend.
3. Place half of the chips in the botttom of a 2 quart dish, top with half of the cheese, then half the tuna mixture, repeat layers.
4. Spread sour cream on top, cook 25-30 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven until hot and bubbly.
5. Garnish with parsley and olives.
