Tortillas replace lasagna noodles in this beefy casserole with a south-of-the-border twist. With salsa, enchilada sauce, chilies, cheese and refried beans, it's a fiesta of flavors. Ingredients:
1-1/4 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups salsa |
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce |
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
1 envelope taco seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
6 flour tortillas (10 inches) |
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded mexican cheese blend, divided |
2 cups crushed tortilla chips |
sliced ripe olives, guacamole, chopped tomatoes and sour cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the salsa, beans, enchilada sauce, chilies, taco seasoning and pepper; heat through.
2. Spread 1 cup meat mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with two tortillas, a third of the remaining meat mixture and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas and meat mixture.
3. Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with tortilla chips.
4. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with olives, guacamole, tomatoes and sour cream if desired. Yield: 12 servings.
