I made this for dinner last week and it was really good. So much so that I want to share it. Also if you have any ideas for upgrades either through your own experimentation or experience they would be nice to hear. It was based off a recipe I found online but I used my own twist.
Meat Mix
1 lb ground beef
1 onion cut into thin disks then quarters
2 tbsp butter
1 red pepper diced
2 small habenero peppers diced small
1 large clove garlic minced
1 pack taco mix
Water to match taco mix directions
cayenne pepper if desired
salt to taste
Gaucamole
1 avocado pitted and quartered
1 clove garlic minced
pinch of salt
squirt lemon juice
Preparation
1 jar salsa
1 can of beans ( I used kidney because that is what I had but i would recommend black)
1 can re-fried beans (I did not have this but the original recipe did and I think they would have been good)
Sour Cream ( I do not like it so I did not include it)
6-8 tortillas
8 oz shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, jack, or some combination of the three)
Directions
Preheat oven at 375 F or 175 C
In large frying pan on medium heat add butter then onions. Cover and cook until translucent (~5 mins). Remove from heat and further cut into small pieces about the same size as the peppers. Put back on heat with the ground beef and garlic until the beef browns. Once the beef browns add water and taco mix. Then let simmer uncovered for 5 mins or what the taco mix directions specify. Then add the cayenne, habenero and bell peppers. Cook for one to two minutes then remove from heat
To make guacamole add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until a paste forms and there is no more solid avocado
In a glass pan (7"x11"x2") is just enough space prepare in the following order:
thin layer meat mix then repeat the rest twice
half the tortillas
half the guacamole
half the salsa
half the beans
half the remaining meat mix
slightly less than half of the chesse
at the end add the rest of the cheese
Bake for about 20-30 mins or until top is brown and bubbling and insides look cooked
