This zippy Mexican casserole is a real winner at our house. It's so flavorful and filling, we usually just accompany it with rice and black beans. If your family has spicier tastes, increase the chili powder and use a medium or hot salsa.Julie Huffman, New Lebanon, Ohio Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 cup water |
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 cups salsa, divided |
10 flour tortillas (8 inches), cut into 3/4-inch strips, divided |
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream |
2 cans (15-1/4 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained |
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, chili powder, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
2. Place 1/4 cup salsa in each of two greased 8-in. square baking dishes. Top each with a fourth of the tortillas and 1/4 cup salsa.
3. Divide the meat mixture, sour cream and corn between the two casseroles. Top with remaining tortillas, salsa and cheese.
