Cinco de Mayo Taco Casserole

I started thinking I'd make his and hers nachos and cheese for dinner tonight, but somehow that morphed into this taco casserole.

Cinco de Mayo Taco Casserole

10 corn tortillas, cut into thin slices
4 cups chili (I used chili I had made last night with tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans, poblano pepper, green peppers, onions, and spices) or refried beans
2 oz shredded cheese (I used Cabot Pepper Jack cheese)
guacamole (made from 2 ripe avocados + 1 bunch of finely chopped cilantro)
4 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

In a casserole dish, layer corn tortillas and chili and sprinkle cheese over the top. Put 10-12 1 Tbsp scoops of guacamole over top and sprinkle bacon. Broil at 500 degrees for 10 minutes until golden brown.

Enjoy with a festive Cinco de Mayo drink. I did.

Question of the Day: Are you a burrito, taco, enchilada, or taco casserole kind of person?

  2. There's always may 6 for his and her nachos! I'm a bean-veg-rice stir fry turned burrito with the leftovers turned quesadilla with those leftovers. Haha - one Mexican food morphs into the other.

  4. Tough call between tacos and burritos. This casserole looks yummy, though! Thank you for your Cabot support :)
