what's for dinner?

Dinner is in the oven (or 'tea' if you're reading this in England!). Last week I found a recipe in one of my cooking magazines that I thought I would try out. It's Enchilada Casserole. It was SO good that I am making it again this week, tonight actually. I know you've been deprived of photos lately, so I thought I'd show you step by step (in pictures) how it's made ;-)

Step 1.

First off here are the ingredients you'll need (plus 1lb of ground beef or turkey, not shown in this picture). I always use ground turkey now, we can never tell the difference and there's less fat.

Step 2

Cook the turkey and onion until no longer pink

Step 3

add the can of black beans drained and rinsed

Step 4

add the salsa (2 cups)

Step 5

add Italian dressing (1/4 cup), taco seasoning (2 tblsp) and cumin (1/4tsp)

The recipe tells you to add lettuce and tomato on top before you serve it and fresh cilantro. I knew I wouldn't be doing that (Jason doesn't like fresh tomatoes) so at this point I added a tblsp of chopped fresh cilantro (and if you don't like cilantro just leave it out).

Step 6

spray the bottom of a 2 qt dish and layer 4 tortillas (mine are large so I only used 2)

Step7

spread half of the meat mixture on to the tortillas, then add some dollops of sour cream!

Step 8

sprinkle on cheese (any kind you like, I used cheddar on the bottom then the rest of the mexican cheese I had on the top)

Step 9 (not shown)
repeat the layer of tortillas, meat, sour cream and cheese.

Cover and bake at 400 for 25 mins. Then uncover and bake a further 15 mins.

Step 10

DINNER IS SERVED!
