last night was one of those nights where i didn’t have a plan of action. i had some already-cooked beef that i had thawed; i had browned it with onion, peppers, garlic, and tomatoes before i froze it. i gave the decision to josh…upside down pizza or beef enchilada casserole. he chose the enchilada casserole.

warning! this is not even REMOTELY healthful, though it did contain the 5 food groups.

1/2 pound ground beef (i prefer to season with onion, garlic, and sometimes tomatoes)
6 flour tortillas torn up
1/2 cup of steamed spinach
1 cup of salsa
1 can of tomato soup
1/4 c sour cream
2 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
2 cups of chili-cheese fritos (or in our case, chipoltle bbq fritos) crushed up

i warmed up the soup, salsa, and spinach. then i tossed in the already-cooked meat mixture. then i added the sour cream and about 1/4 c of the shredded cheese. i mixed it all up and let it all simmer together for a couple minutes while the oven was preheating to 350 degrees.

i spread 1/2 the torn up flour tortillas on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish, sprinkled 1/2 of the crushed fritos over that, spread 1/2 the meat/sauce mixture over that, and topped that layer with half of the remaining shredded cheese. i repeated the layers, ending with the rest of the crushed up fritos and shredded cheese. i popped the whole thing in the oven for 15 minutes. presto-whamo, tasty but unhealthy food. personally, i think that chili-cheese and/or chipotle bbq fritos make everything better
