"TACO-LASAGNA" OR NACHO CASSEROLE

Spread it around to grease the bottom and sides. -Cover bottom of pan with one layer of tortilla pieces. -Sprinkle salsa on the tortilla pieces In the pan. -Sprinkle a layer of 1/2 of the beans. Layer 1/2 of the meat, then 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 the tomatoes, 1/3 of the salsa, 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the tortilla pieces. -Layer the rest of the beans, meat, spinach and tomatoes. -Layer 1/2 of the remaining salsa, tortilla pieces, and cheese. -Top with the remaining tortilla pieces, salsa, and cheese. -Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Notes: It's a great way to use leftovers from "taco night" or steak that you brought home from a restaurant. Make it work for you--try shortcuts. For instance, you could substitute chili for all the ingredients except tortillas and cheese. Go ahead and add/remove/substitute ingredients with things you prefer. If you like it spicy, dice 1-3 jalapenos and toss them in. We usually put two jalapenos in our taco meat. This recipe is very flexible. I usually use ground beef (seasoned with chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper), chopped fresh spinach (Erik doesn't like cilantro), pinto beans, and the other ingredients I listed. Funny, I made a casserole tonight in order to make tomorrow's supper easier. We had no beef so I simply made it with beans. You could throw in anything you like in your burritos or enchiladas. I think this casserole tastes just like enchiladas.

TACO CASSEROLE (MEXICAN LASAGNA)

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until soft. Add ground beef and brown. Drain fat and return skillet to heat, add taco seasoning 1/4 cup salsa (you can use more salsa if you like.).
• While the beef is cooking, prepare the other ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350*F; Grease your 9"x13" glass baking dish; cut the corn tortillas in half; and open all the canned beans.
• After the beef is done, layer the corn tortilla halves around your baking dish. I put two on each long side, one on each short side, and three in the center - it is ok if there are a few gaps. Spread the ground beef over top of the tortillas.
• Make another layer of tortilla halves, followed by the remaining salsa. (If you want to omit most of the tomatoes you could substitute 2 sauted onions and 1/2 cup salsa on this layer.).
• Add another layer of tortillas halves, and then a layer of black beans. I drained the beans but left a little liquid. If you want a finer layer you can pulse them in your food processor.
• Add another layer of tortilla halves, followed by the cooking creme (see the description for a substitution.) Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of cheese over the cooking creme.
• Add a final layer of tortilla halves. Spread the refried beans over the top of the dish, and coat with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350*F for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Allow the dish to set for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a large dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with diced tomato and sliced olives.
• I serve this as a meal by itself - you could certainly add rice, corn, or chips as a side dish if desired.
