Mexican "Lasagne"

I was trying to figure out a way to use some stale tortilla chips the other day and I came up with this recipe that my fiance totally loved. I think he could've eaten the whole pan himself.

Mexican Casserole

-Place a layer of tortilla chips in the bottom of a 9"x13" pan and smash them down to create a thin, flat layer that completely covers the pan.

-Mix together a 16 oz. can of refried beans, a 16 oz. can of diced tomatoes, and any or all of the following:

a small can of green chiles (drained)

a small can of corn (drained)

a small can of sliced black olives (drained)

1 sauteed onion

Pour this mixture over the tortilla chip layer.

-Over the bean layer, spread 1 pound of your favorite pre-cooked taco meat. For our casserole, I used ground turkey prepared with Lawry's taco spice, but you could use beef or chicken with any taco spice you like.

-Over the meat layer, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese. I used cheddar, but you could use pepper jack, regular jack, or any combination.

-Bake the casserole in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.

-Serve as-is or top with sour cream and/or guacamole.
