QUESO CASSEROLE

Provided by Crystal

Number Of Ingredients 6

leftover meat (shredded pork, chicken, hamburger meat, whatever!)
leftover veggies (again, whatever!)
queso -
flour tortillas (heck, use corn tortillas instead if that's what you got!)
enchilada sauce (I used the stuff in the can - a little less than 2 can's worth)
green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Pour a little enchilada sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish just to coat the bottom and keep the tortillas from sticking. Place a layer of tortillas on top. Tear them in pieces to make them fit if need be.
  • In saucepan, combine whatever leftover meat & veggies you have. Add in a couple tablespoons of enchilada sauce to make it saucy - and to allow it to mix a little better. Now, let's layer. Spread some of your meat/veggie mixture on top of the tortillas.
  • Pour on a little queso. Then drizzle on some enchilada sauce.
  • Top with tortillas, and then began the whole layering process again - and repeat until everything is used up.
  • Throw the mixture into the oven for about 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees - just to heat thru. Top with green onions, if desired.
