Category: Casseroles - Beef
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 pound ground pork or pork
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cups prepared salsa, divided
8 corn tortillas (6-inch), cut crosswise in quarters, divided
10 ounces frozen peas, thawed, divided
1 3/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup refried beans
1/3 cup drained sliced pickled jalapeño chili peppers
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat; add the onion and cook, stirring until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the pork and break it up with a wooden spoon; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning with 1/2 cup water and simmer, stirring, until saucy, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a round 9-inch-deep dish pie pan. Add 1/2 cup salsa to the bottom of the pan and till to coat. Arrange a third of the tortilla pieces on top, overlapping slightly to make an even layer. Top with half the meat mixture and half the peas, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Add another layer of tortilla pieces, 1/2 cup salsa and the refried beans; sprinkle with the jalapeños and 1/3 cup cheese. Layer with the remaining tortilla pieces, meat mixture and peas; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese.

Cover the pan snugly with foil, set on a baking sheet and bake in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes. Uncover the pan, sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup cheese on top and bake until bubbling, about 8 minutes. Tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Uncover and top with the sour cream and cilantro. Serves 4-6
