Quesadilla Pie (Mexican)
One of my own creations....
As always, quick and easy!
You can "play" with this, any way you want.
~~~~~~~~~
1-1/2 lbs. lean gr.beef
1 small chopped onion
1 can chili beans (no meat)
(better in taste AND consistency than refried....refrieds go gooey in this recipe)
1 cup colby-jack (or Mex.blend) cheese
1 10 oz. can enchilada sauce
1 can (15oz.) diced tomatoes with chiles (drained)
1 pkg. large-size tortillas (flour)
mild or med.salsa
~~~~~~~~~~
Take the chili beans, drain well, set aside.
Brown gr.beef and onion, drain well.
Into large bowl,
Take chili beans and smash with fork.
Add ground beef-onion, enchilada sauce (use half, then add to taste), half of the cheese, add tomatoes, a lil salsa if you want, mix together.
Take a deep-dish pie plate (10" if possible)....grease bottom (or PAM). Put one tortilla on the bottom.
Cover with some of the mix, spread out. Top with a tortilla , do more mix,etc.
Do this layer system 3-4 times, depending. Use all mix up, top with one last tortilla.
Now gently.....
take a dinner plate, turn it upside down and GENTLY push down on top to firm it up a lil. Take plate off and cover LIGHTLY with foil.
Bake for 30-35 min. at 350-375*.
Turn oven off.
Top with more cheese and
put in oven for 5 min.
Cut into pie pieces.
Serve with salsa and sour cream.
