I love Mexican and along with this tasty dinner, I’ve also made Twice Baked Tacos and Lime Chicken Avocado Enchiladas, all in which are pretty heavenly. I made this one for the first time the other night. Pretty simple but not necessarily the healthiest. It does call for Con Queso but you don’t have to use this. You could substitute for refried beans and extra cheese. So don’t exit this recipe just yet. There are other options.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground turkey or beef
- 1 12 oz jar salsa
- 1 cup con queso*
- 1 6 oz can diced green chilis
- 1 can olives, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 2 tbsp cumin
- 3 tbsp paprika OR sub Taco Seasoning packet for all seasonings
- 1-2 tsp garlic salt
- 3 tortillas
*Substitution: 1 16 oz can Refried beans OR pureed black beans and 1-1 ½ cup Shredded cheese
In a large skillet cook meat thoroughly. Add taco seasoning or above spices to create your own taco seasoning and add 1/4 cup water, let simmer.
Once heated through add con queso, chilies and olives
In a greased pie plate layer one tortilla and 1/3 meat mixture and repeat leaving meat mixture on top reserving 3/4 cup cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Add cheese and cook until melted.
