Taco Casserole

Mild or spicy? Adjust the taco seasoning and taco sauce to suit your tastes. I sometimes add half a can of rinsed, black beans with the corn.

Ingredients:
1/2 pound ground sirloin
1/2 pound chicken chorizo (2 links)
1 cup chopped onion
taco seasoning
taco sauce
3/4 cup water
1 15-ounce can corn
1 4-ounce can green chiles
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
tortilla chips
1 tomato chopped or 2/3 can diced tomatoes, drained
3 green onions, sliced
1 2-ounce can sliced olives
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
sour cream
salsa

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


• Brown meats and onion in a skillet over medium heat.


• Add seasoning and water. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes.


• Add sauce, corn, and chiles.


• Crumble a handful of tortilla chips in a greased 9"x13" dish. Layer half of meat and half of the cheese. Top with another layer of chips and the rest of the meat and cheese.


• Bake for 20 minutes.


• Layer with additional chips, olices, tomatoes, green onion and cilantro.


• Bake for another 5 minutes.
