Ingredients
- 1 lb ground meat (beef or turkey)
- 19 oz diced tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning (store bought or homemade both work great)
- 1 bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 can corn (drained)
- Black beans (optional; they make this casserole VERY full!)
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded; or Monterey Jack)
- 4 Grimm’s Corn & Wheat Tortillas (cut in half)
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray a deep 9 x 9 inch baking dish with spray oil and set aside.
-
Cook ground meat in a large pan, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink (around 10 minutes). Drain excess liquid and transfer to a large bowl.
-
To the bowl, add the diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, bell pepper, corn, and optional black beans. Mix it up until well combined.
-
Layer the casserole in the baking dish: Start by covering the base with tortillas (arrange them so there are no holes).
-
Next, add 1/3 of the mixture from the bowl. Sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese.
-
Repeat with all remaining ingredients, finishing with cheese.
-
Cover casserole and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes.
-
Let casserole stand 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with tortilla chips, avocado slices, or greek yogurt.
Storage
-
Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. The tortillas get soggy after about day 2.
To freeze
-
Assemble up to step 6, then cover tightly with foil (label with date and instructions) and freeze. Freeze for up to 3 months.
-
To bake from frozen, bake at 350°F for 55 minutes (covered). Uncover and bake another 10 minutes.
