Mexican Casserole
Want to try a new Mexican chicken or pork recipe for dinner tonight? At our house, we try not to throw out food. I guess that comes from having four children and limited resources.
Rather than thaw out a new piece of meat to start a dish, see what is left in the refrigerator and meld some new flavors together.
In this case, we had several things that were leftover in small amounts and with a little imagination, came up with dinner in about 15 minutes.
Add some flavor to your meals with this Mexican pork or chicken recipe:
Ingredients
- 8 or 9 oz grilled pork chop or chicken
- 1 can Rotel (heat level is up to you)
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 2/3 cup corn (ours was leftover)
- 1/4 cup chopped peppers (I used 2 small banana peppers and 1 small jalapeño)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 4 tablespoons of leftover dip (see below) or sour cream with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 7 or 8 corn tortillas (you could use corn chips instead)
- 1/2 cup-1 cup cheddar or pepper jack or whatever you have
Directions
- Chop your pork into small pieces.
- Mix all the ingredients together except tortillas.
- Put half of the mixture in a square pan.
- Top this with the corn tortillas and top with the rest of the mixture.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 40 minutes
- Sprinkle with cheese
- Cook for another 10 minutes.
The dip was made with New Canaan Farms Chipotle Dip Mix, sour cream and mayo. If you wanted to use just light sour cream, add Mexican spices or a tablespoon of taco or enchilada seasoning.
