We served this zesty casserole at a fund-raising luncheon for a local college, shares Martha Huffman of Monticello, Arkansas. The students went crazy for it and come back for seconds and thirds. Some even asked for the recipe, which relies on convenient canned beans, soup and tomatoes.
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey or beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
12 flour tortillas (6 inches)
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
6 slices process cheese (velveeta)
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
Directions:
1. In a skillet, brown beef; drain. Add onion and garlic; cook until tender. Remove from the heat; add chili powder, salt and pepper.
2. Place six tortillas in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, overlapping slightly. Top with half of the meat mixture. Layer with beans, remaining meat mixture, cheese and remaining tortillas. Combine soup and tomatoes; pour over tortillas (dish will be full). Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Yield: 8 servings.
