Steps:
- -Pour 1 tsp canola or olive oil into a 9x9 baking pan. 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)
Delicious tex mex flavors without the mess of making burritos, tacos, or cooking lasagna noodles. It is also very hearty - one recipe lasts for three meals with my family of three. I can't eat a lot of tomatoes so I don't add many to the recipe - you could certainly use a second jar of salsa if you like. If you don't have the cooking creme you can substitute 1 pack of cream cheese, softened, with 1/4 cup salsa and 1 tsp cumin mixed well. I make my own taco seasoning using cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortilla chips. Corn tortilla chips are the classic choice for nacho casserole, but you can also use flour tortilla chips or even potato chips. If you're using corn tortilla chips, be sure to choose ones that are sturdy and won't break down when you layer them in the casserole.
- Don't overcook the meat. Ground beef or turkey is a common ingredient in nacho casserole, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked meat will be dry and tough, and it won't taste as good in the casserole.
- Use a variety of cheeses. Cheese is a key ingredient in nacho casserole, and you can use a variety of different types to create a flavorful dish. Some popular choices include cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso Oaxaca.
- Add some spice. Nacho casserole is a Mexican-inspired dish, so it's natural to add some spice to it. You can do this by using chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the spices or use a milder variety.
- Don't forget the toppings. Nacho casserole is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular choices include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro. You can also add other toppings, such as chopped tomatoes, onions, or jalapeños.
Conclusion:
Nacho casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new recipe, give nacho casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
