This is a very rich and fairly easy recipe to make. It can be heated up to your taste. We like a lot of heat in our food. You can scale the heat down to your own liking. This would be a great dish to take to pot-lucks. I found this recipe in Taste of Home's Casserole Cookbook and made changes for our liking. Served with spanish rice and a green salad this makes a great dinner. This dish can be made ahead, add additional bake time after refidgerated.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground beef
1 large chopped onion
1/2 cup minced onion (reserved)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapeno peppers (optional) or 2 hot chili peppers, of your choice (optional)
1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
2 tablespoons of mccormick taco seasoning
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas or 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese or 8 ounces jalapeno jack cheese
2 green onions, sliced
sour cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, garlic, and hot peppers over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain well. Stir in tomatoes, enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, cumin salt and pepper. Salt and pepper can be adjusted to your taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. The longer you simmer, the better the sauce gets, water can be added if gets too thick. Pour half of the sauce into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2 inches baking dish; set aside.
  • Stack totillas and wrap in foil: warm at 350 oven for 15 minutes. I put my tortillas in wax paper and heat in the microwave for 1 minute to save time. Spread tortillas with cream cheese, chopped green chilies and minced onion, top it with a light layer of grated cheese, fold in half.
  • Arrange folded tortillas over the meat sauce; pour remaining sauce on top. Cover and bake at 350 oven for 25 minutes or until hot. Uncover and sprinkle with grated cheese and sliced olives. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Take out and add sliced green onions.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use stale tortillas: Stale tortillas are more pliable and less likely to tear when you fold them.
  • Warm the tortillas before folding: This will also make them more pliable and easier to work with.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: If you put too much filling in the tortillas, they will be difficult to fold and may tear.
  • Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for tortilla casseroles, and it adds a delicious golden brown crust.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and hot: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Fold-over tortilla casseroles are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for potlucks and parties. With a little creativity, you can create a tortilla casserole that everyone will love.
