Fusion Taco Casserole Recipe

Fusion Taco Casserole

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a unique fusion dish that combines the flavors of tacos with the comfort of a casserole. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in with friends or family, and it’s sure to be a hit with its unexpected twist on classic Mexican flavors.

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a baking dish with butter. For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 400g ground beef
• 30g taco seasoning
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 can of black beans, drained
• 200ml salsa verde
• 150g cheddar cheese, shredded
• 100g sour cream
• 1 avocado, diced

Next, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Now, it’s time to assemble the casserole. Start by layering half of the corn tortillas on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Top with half of the black beans, followed by half of the ground beef mixture. Drizzle half of the salsa verde over the beef and sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese.

Repeat the layers one more time, finishing with a final layer of corn tortillas, salsa verde, and cheddar cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Once the casserole is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with dollops of sour cream and diced avocado for a creamy and fresh finish.

For this Fusion Taco Casserole, the approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, and it serves 6 people. Each serving weighs around 200g, and the approximate calorie count per serving is 450 calories.

A clever tip for this dish is to add a layer of crushed tortilla chips on top of the final cheese layer before baking for an extra crunch and texture.

I hope you give this Fusion Taco Casserole a try and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors in every bite. Feel free to customize it with your favorite taco toppings or add a spicy kick with some sliced jalapeños. Bon appétit!
