Taquito Casserole
Serves 8
Ingredients
Scale:
1x
- 1½ pound Tomato (fresh, chopped)
- 1 small Onion (chopped)
- 2 cup Smoked meat (beef (chicken or pork))
- ¼ cup Cilantro (chopped)
- 2 cup Cheese (Monteray Jack)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450º
- Puree tomatoes, garlic, onion and jalapeno peppers. Simmer the puree in a large skillet for about 10 minutes.
- If you do not have any smoked meat, you can add about 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the puree.
- Add meat and cilantro. Continue to simmer this mixture while you prepare a baking dish. This mixture will be quite "liquidy", but the chips will absorb all that liquid.
- Grease a 6" x 10" baking dish. Line the bottom with the tortilla chips. Add 1/2 of the meat mixture and top this with 1/2 of the cheese. Place another layer of tortilla chips on top of this and add remaining meat mixture and cheese.
- Bake for about 15 minutes and serve with sour cream.
Tips
Make sure all dairy ingredients are well-chilled for best results. Always preheat your oven and check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
