I made this years ago, and thought I better hunt through some recipes to see what I should make for all the play-off games this weekend.
Mexican Tortilla Casserole
- 1# ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 pack taco seasoning mix
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can refried beans (they spread easier if you warm them in microwave)
- 1 cup prepared rice (I used Minute rice)
- 1 can Mexican blend corn (drained) (I actually didn't add this)
- 4-5 large flour tortillas
- 8 oz of thick chunky salsa (your choice mild or hot)
Spray a spring form, round cake pan or casserole with cooking spray
Brown ground beef and onion, then drain
Add taco seasoning and cook according to the package directions
Lay 1 tortilla in the bottom on baking dish, spread 1/3 of the beans on it, top with 1/3 of the meat, and sprinkle some cheese.
2nd layer tortilla, 1/2 the rice, 1/2 the salsa, 1/2 corn and cheese
3rd layer tortilla, 1/3 beans, 1/3 meat, cheese
4th layer tortilla - beans, meat, corn, rice, salsa, and cheese
Bake covered with foil at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes and uncover for 10-15 min longer. Let sit for 5 min before cutting. After baking, top with sour cream, diced onion, and shredded lettuce if desired.
