CORN TORTILLA CASSEROLE INSPIRED BY ZAAR CHEFS
This dish would not have been created without the inspiration of Mirjam, Bill, Mysterygirl, bratty 1, leeannr, Miller, SueL and Karen in Colorado. They all offered advice and ideas, and pointed me towards recipes as I attempted to create a dinner with some corn tortillas I had on hand. This is the concoction I came up with (and it was not what I went into the kitchen to create, but this dish kind of created itself as I went along), after reading all the recipes and considering all the advice; thanks to you all!

Steps:
- Note for Canadians: I used the following to prepare this dish: 1 796-mL tin of tomatoes, 1 398-mL tin of refried beans and 1 430-mL jar of picante sauce.
- Also, the cheese I used was a prepackaged shredded mix called"Casserole Mix"; it's a mixture of cheddar, colby and monterey jack.
- Feel free to spice this up as you please; I deliberately kept this lowkey and mild to please my husband, who would not have liked it if I had added the"firepower" I would have liked to add; also note that the omission of salt is not an error--I didn't think the recipe needed salt at all.
- Preheat oven to 325F; have ready an ungreased 13x9 pan.
- Take 1 tortilla, lightly spread a bit of margarine on both sides (going right to the edges), and place on a microwave-safe plate; I used a small piece of wax paper wadded up into a ball to do the spreading.
- Place the next tortilla on top, lightly spread margarine on it (on the top side only), get the next tortilla, repeat process, and so on and so on, until you have a stack of 18 tortillas; this may take more than the 2 tbsp of margarine, depending on how thinly you've spread it.
- Place plate in microwave and cook, on High, for 5 minutes; when time is up, set tortillas aside.
- Meanwhile, crumble beef into a large skillet and saute.
- When brown, place beef in a mixing bowl, discarding any fat.
- Stir chili powder into beef, then add 1 cup shredded cheese and the tin of tomatoes; combine well.
- Place 6 corn tortillas into the bottom of 13x9 pan; top with half the ground beef mixture.
- Place 6 tortillas on top of beef.
- Spread the refried beans across these 6 tortillas, distributing as evenly as possible.
- Top refried beans with remaining beef mixture.
- Place the last 6 tortillas on top of beef mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the entire jar of picante sauce with the sour cream.
- Spread this mixture across the top of casserole, making sure to cover all exposed areas of the corn tortillas.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of casserole.
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.
- Serve with sour cream on the side, if you wish, and a green salad.

CHEF JOHN'S CORN TORTILLAS
Here's my technique for making excellent corn tortillas every time! It takes some practice to master, but even the lousiest homemade corn tortilla is better than those cardboard store-bought ones. Make sure to let the dough rest so that it puffs up nicely while cooking.

Steps:
- Add masa harina to a large bowl. Sprinkle in salt and add hot tap water. Stir mixture with your fingers until dough starts to pull together.
- Knead for a few minutes to smooth it out until texture resembles modeling clay or putty. Add more water if dough is too dry and more flour if too wet.
- Place a damp towel and over the dough to keep it from drying out. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut a zip-top bag into 2 rounds the same size as your tortilla press. Place 1 round on the bottom of the press.
- Place a clean kitchen towel over a pie dish for holding the cooked tortillas later.
- Pull off a little piece of the dough, enough to roll into a 1 1/2-inch or 1-ounce ball. Remove the top round of plastic, place dough ball in the center of the bottom round, and press down lightly. Cover dough with the top piece of plastic.
- Fold the tortilla press over, apply pressure to the lever arm until tortilla flattens to your desired thinness.
- Peel off the top piece of plastic. Line up the index finger of your dominant hand with the edge of the tortilla; flip it over into your other hand. Carefully peel off the plastic.
- Gently slide tortilla, palm-up, into a hot, dry pan over medium- to medium-high heat. Cook first side for 30 to 45 seconds. Turn over and cook second side for 1 minute. Flip and press once or twice with a spatula until tortilla puffs up slightly. Cook for 30 seconds more. Flip one last time and cook for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Quickly transfer tortilla to the pie dish and fold the towel over to wrap it up. Repeat pressing and cooking the rest of the tortilla dough, stacking and wrapping as you go.
- Leave the stack of tortillas wrapped until soft and supple, at least 15 minutes.

CORN TORTILLA TACO CASSEROLE
Believe me, I've tried a lot of "taco casseroles", but this one really hit the spot at a holiday ladies potluck luncheon. I was one of the many who asked for the recipe, received it and thought I'd pass it on to my "zaar" friends. She said it came from a California elementry school cookbook. Just great with a green salad and a glass of beer or wine!
