Taco Melts

I saw a recipe for cheeseburger melts on Life as a Lofthouse and I decided to change them to taco melts. They were SO yummy! I forgot to take a picture but my kids and their friend loved them and so did we. I don't really need to put a recipe down but I need to post this so I remember it when looking for a dinner idea.

Hamburger

Taco seasoning

Pillsbury pizza crust

cheese

sour cream

tomatoes

lettuce

Brown hamburger, drain, add taco seasoning. While the hamburger is cooking roll out the pizza crust and cut it into eight squares (or however many you want) This was the hardest part. I tried to shape them into the best circles that I could. It wasn't easy so they didn't look great. Fry them in a frying pan until browned on each side. Once they are all cooked put the meat and cheese in the center and cook them on warm in the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese. Add additional toppings and fold like a taco.  

Cheesy Enchilada Casserole

Another recipe from Life as a Lofthouse blog....

Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 1/2 cups salsa
(15 oz) can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup Cheese Whiz
3/4 cup Sour Cream
2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Cumin
6 soft taco size Flour Tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain fat. Stir in salsa, beans, cheese whiz, sour cream, taco seasoning and cumin. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon a 1/3 of meat mixture in the bottom. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Layer 3 flour tortillas over the top. ( you will have to cut one of the tortillas so they fit ) Spoon another 1/3 of meat mixture on top of the tortillas, then sprinkle another 1/2 cup of cheese. Do one more tortilla layer, the last of the meat mixture and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese has melted and it's hot and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes or so before slicing. Makes 9 servings.

Saute chicken, cumin and coriander until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the cilantro, black beans, and green chili peppers.

Spread half of the enchilada sauce over the bottom pan. Place 4 tortillas over the sauce, overlapping if necessary. spoon half of the chicken mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle with half of the cheese and half of the sour cream.

Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over the cheese, and make another layer of tortillas. Layer the remaining chicken mixture over the tortillas.
