The Mexican tasting casserole is SO delicious. In comparison to eating at a Mexican restaurant, it's also much better for you. I will give the basics, but there are so many other ingredients you could add to this! This recipe has been adapted from a Kraft Foods Recipe to make it healthier. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
2 cups thick & chunky salsa |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans |
1/4 cup fat-free italian salad dressing, zesty |
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix |
1 cup fat free sour cream |
1 (8 ounce) package 2% mexican cheese blend |
4 flour tortillas, burrito size |
Directions:
1. PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees.
2. BROWN meat and drain. (Since I buy lean meat, I like to add a Tbsp of salsa while I'm browning to give it a little more juice.).
3. DRAIN and rinse beans.
4. MIX browned meat, salsa, seasoning, and beans.
5. PLACE 2 flour tortillas on the bottom of a glass casserole dish. (the edges will go up the sides slightly).
6. TOP the tortillas with half of EACH of the meat mixture, cheese, and sour cream.
7. PLACE the other 2 tortillas on top and repeat the layer.
8. COVER with foil.
9. BAKE for 30 minutes covered.
10. REMOVE foil cover.
11. BAKE 10 more minutes uncovered or until cheese is melted.
