Steps:
- Equipment: 2 deep lasagne pans.
- On the bottom of each pan, spread a layer or two of chips, flattening as needed.
- I used about 5 oz of the chips in each pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of refried beans atop the chips layer, using 16 oz in each pan.
- Once you've got all of the spoonful drops down, use the back of the spoon to spread the refried beans around more evenly.
- Pour 8 oz salsa over each pan, and spread about.
- Over each pan, crumble 2.5 oz of chips.
- Layer 7.5 oz of the corn in each pan.
- Chop up the bell peppers, and layer them evenly in the 2 pans.
- Chop up the avocadoes and olives, and layer them evenly in the pans.
- Chop up the cilantro, and sprinkle it over the pans.
- Using the remaining refried beans, drop spoonfuls atop the pans, and spread them around.
- (They won't cover the whole surface; that's ok).
- Spread the remaining salsa in a thin layer across the top of each pan.
- Chop the cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle those over the top of each pan.
- Crumble the rest of the chips, and sprinkle those over the top.
- Bake at 450 degrees for about 1/2 hour, maybe more (keep an eye on it after the first 20 minutes as ovens can vary); I turn the oven off once the top layer of chips is lightly browned and a forkful swiped out of the bottom of the pan is hot.
- (Note- Don't worry too much about the quantities of ingredients; this is not a recipe where precision matters. If you have more or less of something, it'll still taste good).
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese and tortillas.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or beef.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
