I'm usually pretty organized when it comes to menu planning and grocery shopping ahead of time. I'm not sure what happened this time. I was certain I had all the ingredients to make this casserole. I got home and began making the recipe- that's when I realized perhaps I hadn't planned ahead as well as I thought. I was missing SEVERAL ingredients. No worries- I improvised and it still turned out great. Below is the original recipe with my substitutions in parenthesis.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion (I used dried minced onion)
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce (I used leftover marinara sauce)
1 15 oz can black beans, drained (I used Bush's Grilling Beans Black Bean Fiesta, not drained)
1 8.75 oz ccan whole kernel corn, undrained (I used frozen)
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chilies, undrained
6 flour tortillas, 8 inch
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (I used colby jack)
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
Directions:
1. Brown beef and onion in skillet; drain.
2. Add tomato sauce, beans, corn, green chiles and spices. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
3. Spread 1/2 cup of beef mixture on bottom of 9x13 baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray.
4. Top with 3 tortillas.
5. Layer with 1/2 remaining beef mixture and 1/2 of cheese.
6. Repeat with remaining tortillas, beef, and cheese.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
