Dinner Idea

We love a good corn tortilla casserole.  It usually has a good amount of ground beef, cheese, olives and corn in it.  I remade the recipe so that I would fill good eating it.

Corn Tortilla Casserole

Mix all of the following ingredients together in a pan and heat till cheese melts:

1 1/2 cups cooked rice

1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese

1 can black beans

1 cooked shredded chicken breast

2 cans diced tomatoes

1 tsp cumin (to taste)

2 tbsp taco seasoning (to taste)

In the bottom of a large casserole dish or 9x13 pan pour in 1 8oz can of tomato sauce. Next lay down a layer of corn tortillas.  Follow that with 2 cups of spinach and a layer of sauce.  I did 3 layers for a total of 9 (6 inch) corn tortillas and two layers of spinach ending with a layer of the sauce mixture and 1/4 cup cheese sprinkled on top.  I baked in a 425 degrees oven for 25 minutes.  It will serve 8-10. Everyone in the family ate it except my 3 year old.
