Layered Mexican Tortilla Casserole
Taken from my “Favorites” file!
Servings 8-10
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, optional or adjust to heat level
2 cups salsa
1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinced and drained
1 (10-ounce) can Old El Paso enchilada sauce (use hot or regular, I prefer the hot)
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 envelope taco seasoning mix, mild or spicy
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (or use a Mexican blend shredded cheese, can use more cheese if desired)
2-1/2 cups crushed tortilla chips (can use more or less)
sliced ripe black olives, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, optional
Instructions:————————————
Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet cook the ground beef with onion until no longer pink; drain fat, then continue cooking until the meat is browned (adding in the garlic and chili flakes the last 2 minutes of cooking time, the meat may take about 10-12 minutes to brown).
Stir in salsa, refried beans, black beans, enchilada sauce, green chilies and taco seasoning; stir over low heat for about 8 minutes or until heated through and well combined.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread about 1 cup of the beef mixture into the bottom of prepared baking dish (you only need a thin layer of sauce on the bottom).
Layer with 2 tortillas, a third of the meat mixture, then 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat layers another time, then top with remaining tortillas and meat mixture.
Cover and bake in a preheat 375 degree F (bottom oven rack) for 30 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese and the crushed tortilla chips on top then return to oven to melt (about 5 minutes).
Slice then serve with olives, chopped tomatoes and sour cream if desired.
