Are you in a rush to whip up a delectable dinner? Give this mouthwatering and effortlessly prepared Mexican stew a whirl, featuring lean ground beef, ranchero beans, tortilla chips, cheese, chicken, and a dollop of sour cream.
I’m constantly on the lookout for delightful Mexican recipes to concoct at home. While I often find myself preparing enchiladas, I decided to shake things up with this delightful stew for a refreshing twist on our customary Mexican night.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of lean ground beef
- 1 can of Ranch Style beans
- 1 10-12 ounce bag of tortilla chips, thoughtfully crushed
- 1 can of Ro-tel tomatoes
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, thoughtfully divided
- 1 package of taco seasoning
- 1 can of cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup of water
- Sour cream and zesty salsa, for garnishing
Directions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 325°F.
- In a spacious skillet, embark on a culinary adventure by browning the meat to perfection, ensuring to drain off any excess fat. Next, introduce the beans, tomatoes, finely chopped onion, the tantalizing taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and a splash of water. Allow this delightful concoction to simmer over medium-low heat until all the flavors meld harmoniously and the mixture is heated to perfection.
- In preparation for the culinary masterpiece that lies ahead, lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Now, let the layering commence: first, a bed of those wonderfully crushed tortilla chips; followed by a generous blanket of the meat and bean medley, and then an enchanting layer of half the cheddar cheese. Repeat this symphony of layers with the remaining ingredients. It’s a delicious melody of textures and flavors.
- Cover this culinary marvel with foil and place it in the oven. Allow it to bake for a tantalizing 20-30 minutes, or until it becomes irresistibly bubbly and golden.
- Once this masterpiece emerges from the oven, grant it a brief 5-10 minutes of respite before serving. And don’t forget to elevate your experience by topping it with a lavish drizzle of sour cream and a spoonful of zesty salsa.
Savor the symphony of flavors in every bite of this Easy Mexican Casserole, where the tangy beans, savory beef, crispy tortilla chips, and creamy cheese come together in a harmonious fiesta for your taste buds. It’s the perfect departure from your everyday Mexican fare, promising a delightful twist on your dining experience.
