MEXICAN JUNK FOOD CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a joke and it was yummy and I made it up on the spot. WARNING: There is NOTHING healthy about this dish! It will clog your arteries, pack on the pounds, it may even make you sick! The salt content alone is enough to make you retain water and raise your blood pressure.
• 2. Disclaimer: Should be eaten during PMS, when you don't give a crap about calories and need real comfort food. Side Dishes: Pinto beans cooked with salt pork. Who cares if you stink up the house? It's YOUR house!
• 3. Combine Picante sauce, milk, chili, soup, cheese, dips and chicken in a saucepan. Heat until it's mixed together nicely and the cheese is melted or you are feeling a little better. Smash a bunch of the tortilla chips in the bottom of a big pan (smashing things feels good today). Eat a few to make sure they are good. (Hint: might even want to dip one in that warm concoction on the stove.) Pour the rest of the bag of chips into the sauce mixture and mix together. Pour the whole thing over the tortilla chips and bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes or until bubbly.
• 4. Serve this with some sour cream and pinto beans cooked with salt pork.
• 5. It will either make you happy or kill you.

MEXICAN TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic, stir and cook for a minute or two to soften the onion. Add 2 teaspoons of the chili powder, 1 teaspoon of the paprika and 1 teaspoon of the cumin. Stir and cook the mixture for another minute or two to release the flavors of the spices. Remove the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken along with the remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute the chicken until it's deep golden brown and done in the middle, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and stir to make a sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook until it's reduced by half, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the beans and set aside.
• To assemble the casserole, pour half a jar (about 1 cup) of salsa verde into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or disposable foil baking pan. Add a layer of half the tortillas on top of the salsa verde, overlapping the edges. Spoon the rice over the tortillas, spread the tomato mixture over the rice, then sprinkle the corn over the tomatoes. Next, add the chicken and bean mixture, then sprinkle on half the cheese and pour over half the enchilada sauce. Next, add the rest of the tortillas, then pour on the rest of the salsa verde and the rest of the enchilada sauce and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
• If you're baking the casserole right away, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with sour cream and cilantro.
