Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 package LAWRY'S BURRITO SPICES/SEASONINGS (or use the huge Costco container on but measure out the spices)
  • 1 can whole tomatoes, cut up (28 ounces)
  • 1 can 30 ounces of corn or hominy drain and rinsed (I use frozen corn)
  • 1 can diced green chiles (4 ounces)
  • 4 cups tortilla chips (I use the green and red chips and layer them in a clear casserole dish)
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can tomato sauce (8 ounces)
  • 1 can olives sliced

Method

  • In large skillet, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned; drain fat.
  • Add Burrito Spices and tomatoes; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
  • Combine hominy or corn and green chiles in separate bowl.
  • In 2-quart rectangular casserole dish, layer half of meat mixture, tortilla chips and hominy mixture.
  • Add 1/2 cut cheese.
  • Repeat layers (if using red and green chips alternate the colors with layers, looks very good), ending with 1/2 cup cheese.
  • Top with tomato sauce and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
  • Makes 8 servings.
  • Serve with a tossed green salad.
