This is another dish that is pretty easy to prepare, and you can adjust the spiciness based on your family’s tolerence. Before kids, I used to make it pretty spicy and added a whole little can of jalapenos and used spicy salsa. Now if I did that, it would guarantee that they wouldn’t eat a bite of it, except for the one little taste which would be followed by them spitting it out and raking their tongue to get the dastardly hot stuff off.
This is best when topped by sour cream, or as Anya calls it, yogurt, because anything that creamy and yummy must be yogurt.
1 lb cooked hamburger
1 pkg taco seasoning
2 cans black beans, rinsed
1 sm can chopped olives
1 sm can chopped jalapenos, optional
1 large jar salsa
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 sm can tomato sauce
1 pkg shredded taco style cheese
1 pkg large flour tortillas
sour cream
Brown hamburger in skillet, and add the taco seasoning when done. Meanwhile mix the salsa, diced tomatoes, olives, jalapenos and tomato sauce together. Using a 9×13 casserole dish, put a small layer of the sauce on the bottom. Put one layer of tortillas, cutting to make fit. Put a layer of hamburger, beans, cheese and then sauce. Repeat. When finished with the layers, put the casserole in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Cut in pieces when done, just like lasagna, and top with sour cream.
