Tortilla Casserole!


This is an easy & tasty casserole that you fix in the microwave. If you want to take a break from your stove completely, you can even brown the meat in the microwave.

Tortilla Casserole

2 lbs. ground meat (I used venison because that's what I had, but you can use turkey, beef, chicken...)
1 medium onion, chopped
8 oz. taco sauce
1 can tomatoes & diced green chilies
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp hot sauce
4 tortillas
16 oz. sour cream
6 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
6 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Place the meat and onion in a skillet & brown over medium heat. Once the meat is brown, drain, and stir in the taco sauce, can of tomatoes, cumin, and hot sauce. Grease a 9x9 inch microwave safe dish. Place 1 tortilla in, sprinkle some of each of the cheeses, then spread some of the meat mixture over the cheese, then spread some sour cream on top. Top with another tortilla and layer again, and another time, ending with a tortilla on top. Place in microwave and cook on high 8-10 minutes, until heated through. Cool 2 minutes in microwave, then remove with oven mitts. Enjoy!


When I made this tonight, I didn't think to add the tomatoes. It's good without, but tomatoes would definitely have added a nice flavor! If you don't like diced green chilies, just add a plain can of diced tomatoes. Also, if you don't like hot things, just leave the splash of hot sauce out - it just adds a little flavor, too.
