Layer covered tortillas in the bottom of the pan, it should take six.

Add remaining layer of tortillas dipped in sauce & press down gently again all over the pan.

So, My sisters and I made this casserole tonight, and it was so good! And you can eat it guilt free as long as you eat it in moderation.
I hope you guys will try it out, and let me know if you like it. Tomorrow, we will be making chili rubbed tilapia! Its very delicious!
Pictures, I'd love to see how this bad boy turned out!
ReplyDeleteHow much of a cook are you RJ?
BTW if you like cooking whole chickens the best rack i've found is an "X" style rack you sit the bird on, allows full on circulation of air from youe oven fan, much more immediately useable meat & less fat as a result.
PS a LITTLE bit of skin's allowed ..if Bean & chaos allow it!
Have you got one of those small coffee cup sized vacuum flasks? I use one for a snack or a hot bit of quick hunger-proofing when out.
ReplyDeleteCheap packet of chinese noodles & a plastic fork (the spork variety) as it keeps stuff hot for around 6 hrs can tide me over nicely
Also has proven useful for cooked hotdogs in a bit of hot water & simply taking some bread rolls & ketchup along! ..cheap lunch lessening the chances of wandering into a cafe & spending money on BIG treats!
I also find that oriental shops are good for their flavoured snack noodles which whilst a few hundred calories can often give you the kick you need especially the hot varieties keep me away from snack crap whilst putting some more liquid back into me.
If you like it hot look out for a Tom Yum flavour http://www.orientalfoodshop.com/mama-shrimp-tom-yum-instant-noodles.html
What I love about this brand is tat they have several flavour sachets so you can get some real "hot lips" more chili & lemongrass than shrimp, nut very moreish!
Thanks for the recipe!!! Love it
