Enchiladasagna: What Happens When Mexico & Italy Make Babies

What You'll Need:
1 package of corn tortillas
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans, drained
2 cans red enchilada sauce
1 16 oz tub of sour cream
1 lb ground beef, preferably lean
Shredded cheese, LOTS of it (2-3 8 oz packages)
1 16 oz jar of your favorite salsa
1 small onion, diced
taco seasoning
Fresh cilantro

What To Do:
Preheat your oven to 350. Spray your pan with your favorite cooking spray, I used a 9 x 13 dish. Saute the onion along with browning the ground beef, add taco seasoning to taste. Once the beef is nearly done, add the salsa and the black beans and bring it to a simmer. Turn off the heat. Pour enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Cut the tortillas in half (I used a pizza cutter), and spread refried beans on the tortilla halves that are on the bottom layer. Cover it with a layer of cheese. Start the next layer by using the corn tortillas to cover your first layer. Add the meat mixture on top of the tortillas & cover with the remaining enchilada sauce from the first can & some from the second can. Layer more tortilla halves, top with remaining meat mixture, more sauce, and a good, thick layer of cheese. Bake it covered for 30 minutes. Pop it out of the oven, top it with the sour cream & bake for another 10 minutes. Top with fresh cilantro garnish & a side of guacamole. I promise your family will love you for this meal. PROMISE.

  1. Do you make your guacamole? How? Sounds delicious .... anything with guac is though, imo ;). Except perhaps ice cream. And pop tarts.

  2. I DO make my own guacamole! I kinda cheat, though...I use several avocados, my favorite fresh salsa, some lime juice, salt to taste...and fresh cilantro if I have it :-) I have no idea how to measure anything in that "recipe." lol And I wholeheartedly agree with your statement about guac
