      mexican tortilla casserole- this dish feeds a crowd and it’s more like a mexican lasagna (no pasta!)

      1lb. 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)will only use about 1/2 can
      4-5 large flour tortillas
      8 oz of thick chunky salsa (your choice mild or hot)

      Spray a spring form (cheesecake pan) with cooking spray.

      In a skillet Brown ground beef and onion and drain any excess grease.

      Add taco seasonings and cook according to package directions.

      Lay 1 tortilla in bottom of baking dish and spread 1/3 of the refried beans on it ,top with 1/3 of the meat and sprinkle on some cheese .

      2nd layer tortilla, 1/2 the rice, 1/2 salsa, 1/2 the corn and cheese

      3rd layer tortilla, 1/3 beans ,1/3meat, cheese

      4 layer tortilla . beans ,meat, corn, rice, salsa and cheese

      Place in oven for 15-20 minutes at 350, to melt the cheese. Release the springform side, top with sour cream, chopped green onions and black olive halves.

      It’s yummy! I’ve been doing the same, with variations, for years. Having a large family, I used a 9 x 13 casserole pan, and just cut tortillas to fit the rectangular shape.
