Mexican Lasagna-ish Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey, beef, pork, etc
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup corn (frozen is best but drained canned corn works)
• 1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2-3 tbsp taco seasoning (see taco seasoning recipe)
• juice from 1 lime (about 2 tbsp)
• 1/2 cup water (see note in recipe)
• 12 corn tortillas
• 30oz canned chopped tomatoes
• 8 green chiles (hatch, poblano, etc - roasted, chopped)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
• sliced jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro as desired for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pan, brown your ground meat. When the meat has started to brown in places but is still partially uncooked, add the chopped onions and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently

2. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning, and water. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring in lime juice as you take it off the heat

3. Grease a 9x13 baking dish (butter, cooking spray, etc)

4. Place 1 cup of filling mixture on the bottom of the pan. Place half of the tortillas on top of the ground meat, overlapping and placing them so they come about 1/2 inch up the side of the dish

5. Spoon half of the remaining filling filling on top of the tortillas, then spread the sour cream over that. Layer the rest of the tortillas, then the rest of the filling. Top with shredded cheese

6. Place in heated 350°F oven and bake for 25 minutes. Garnish as desired. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

• This recipe needs to be a little soupy when it goes into the oven, but not so watery that it gets soggy and turns the tortillas mushy. Depending on your ingredients, you may need to add more water to the mix before baking, just don't overdo it
