Santa Fe Casserole Bake

Another recipe I finally got around to trying this past week was this casserole. I got this recipe from Sarah. She really knows her Mexican, Tex-Mex, Southwest, Sonoran, etc cuisine. I thought this was a great twist with the yummy fritos-- it was like eating nachos for dinner. Totally yummy! Next time I will need to half the recipe though!


SANTE FE CASSEROLE BAKE

1 lb ground beef or chicken (4 chicken breasts)
1 pkg Lawrys Taco Seasoning mix
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup flour
1 can 7 oz diced green chiles (mild)
2 cups grated jack or cheddar cheese
¾ bunch sliced green onions with tops
1 pkg (11 oz) fritos corn chips

Brown meat and stir until crumbly or cut chicken in small pieces. Drain
fat – add taco seasoning – blend well. In a small bowl, combine chicken
broth , add flour. Add to meat mixture, bring to a boil to slightly
thicken liquid. Stir in sour cream and chiles. Blend well. In 13x9x2
(lightly greased) glass dish, place ½ of chips, ½ of meat mixture, ½ of
chesse and ½ of green onions. Layer again with remaining ingredients,
ending with green onions.

Bake uncovered in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Top with guacamole....
