Baked Tortilla Stack
- 1 TBS olive oil;
- 1 onion chopped finely;
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped;
- 2-3 small chillies, chopped;
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder;
- 1 tsp ground cumin;
- 2 tsp dried oregano;
- 750g chicken mince (or whatever meat you prefer);
- 1 tin crushed tomatoes (roma);
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (if different meat used, vary stock used);
- 1/2 cup chopped Chinese parsley (cilantro);
- 5-10 tortillas (pre-warmed in foil in the oven or a plastic bag in the mic);
- 1&1/2 cups grated tasty cheese;
- 1 avocade mashed with about 1 cup sour cream.
- Heat oil in large frying pan; add onion & chillies and cook till soft. Add garlic, chilli powder, cumin and oregano and cook for 30 minutes.
- Add mince meat and cook over high heat till browned. Add tomatoes & stock and simmer for 20 minutes or until meat is cooked and liquid has been absorbed. Season & stir through the parsley/cilantro. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 for fan-forced oven).
- Lightly grease the base of a shallow baking dish (wide enough for a tortilla to fit). Place 1 tortilla on top, top with some of the meat mixture, a couple of dollops of sourcream/avocado mix and a handful of grated cheese. Keep repeating layers, making sure to have a tortilla on top, followed by more grated cheese.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese melted and golden.
- Very nice served with a cajun-spiced fried rice.
