mexican Casserole

[Guest guest]

I'm new at this was wondering is this recipe is ok for phase 2?

Mexican Casserole

1 lb. ground round

1 - 15 oz. can light red kidney beans, drained

1 - 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes

1 - 4 oz. can chopped chiles

1 pkg. taco seasoning mix

6 or 7 WW tortillas

1 cup LF sour cream

1/2 cup grated LF Mexican blend cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook ground round in skillet until done, stirring

frequently. Drain well and return beef to skillet. Add beans, tomatoes,

chiles, and taco seasoning mix and stir well. Simmer on low for about 5

minutes.

Lightly grease pan about 11 x 7 inches. Cut tortillas in half and place half

of them in a layer in the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly.

Spoon half of the meat mixture over tortillas and then top with the sour cream,

spreading evenly. Top with remaining half of the tortillas and the remaining

half of the meat mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove

foil and top with cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.

Cool a few minutes before serving.

It looks good to me, except instead of a package of

taco seasoning (they sometimes contain sugar and other

things you don't want), I'd use my own homemade

seasoning. It's in the Files section, I believe!

In fact, it sounds very good and I might try it next

week! Thanks for posting it.

1) This is Phase 2 of course -- to make it Phase 1, you'd leave out the

tortillas.

2) Make sure the ground round IS what it purports to be.

3) Make sure your canned goods have no added sugars.

4) Make sure your taco seasoning mix has no added sugars.

Otherwise, looks fine! I'd get Kraft's 2% Mexican shredded cheese blend.

BTW, watch your servings on the tortillas -- not only is there overdoing it,

but if they're something like La Tortilla Factory's wraps, you'll REALLY

want to watch the fiber count.
