I was in a real hurry last evening to prepare dinner. I came up with this
recipe using just four ingredients I just happened to have on hand. The
whole thing, start to finish took less than 30 minutes and -- surprize,
surprize -- it was good. I don't have exact meaurements or band names of
the ingredients I used, so please don't ask! I can't tell you. I don't
think it matters anyway as long as you use enough salsa to keep it from
being dry.
ground beef (about 1 pound)
4 to 6 soft corn tortillas
Large jar chunky salsa, mild (not hot)
extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 4 ounces)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown meat in skillet. Stir in some salsa.
(I think I used more than a cup in the meat mixture.) Spread a little salsa
in the bottom of a 9 x 13" casserole dish. Cover salsa with a single layer
of tortillas (2 to 4, cut some to make 'em fit into empty spaces). Spread
meat mixture over tortillas & cover with more tortillas as for the bottom.
Spread a thin layer of salsa on top of the tortillas and top with cheese.
Bake 15 minutes until cheese melts.
This is really a simplified version of the chicken enchilada recipe I posted
a few weeks ago. So, of course, it can be made with cooked shreaded chicken
instead of beef.
Had I had more time & ingredients on hand, I would have added black olives,
garlic, fresh cilantro, fresh green peppers& tomatoes, chili powder, etc. to
the filling, but this hurry up version was surprizingly good.
I had a little leftover rice in the fridge as well, so heated it in a
skillet with a little more of the salsa. Voila! Instant Spanich rice. I
completed the meal with a green salad & simple vinaigrette dressing.
