I love Tex-Mex inspired dishes so when I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. The extra bonus is that it is quick, easy to make and is a meal all in one kind of dish. Not to mention extremely yummy. I used pinto beans for this recipe, but I think black beans or kidney beans would be great also. I also used green enchilada sauce, but red would be fine as well. I think even a can of corn would be great in this, just play around use what you have on hand or what you like.
Ingredients: 1lb ground beef, 1 package taco seasoning, 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 can enchilada sauce, 1 can beans, 2 cups cottage cheese, 2 eggs, lightly beaten, 12 corn tortillas (6 inches), torn, 3-1/2 to 4 cups, shredded Monterey Jack cheese
start off browning your ground meat
While its browning crack your eggs in a small bowl and slightly beat
Then add 2 cups of cottage cheese and sir together
Once meat is browned add taco seasoning and enchilada sauce
Then add beans and tomatoes both undrained, you will need the extra juice to absorb into the tortillas.
Stir well and let simmer for about 20 minutes
Then in a 13 X 9 Casserole, spoon in half of the meat mixture
Then layer with 6 corn tortilla and half cottage cheese mixture
Then add your shredded cheese and repeat layers
Bake @ 350 for about 30 minutes
Serve and enjoy!

This looks great! I am looking forward to making this! Just wanted you to know that my Sticky Chicken is in the crock pot, today. I am planning to make the chicken enchiladas tomorrow! Woo hoo!
Have a great day.
That’s another very yummy tackle!!
Wowo does that ever look delish! I’d love to have a slice of that right now!
Anything with corn tortillas and cheese is going to be a winner. I have a similar dish without beans and I love it.

This looks great. I’ll try your Tex-Mex, you try my traditional, and we’ll compare notes later. 🙂
BTW – that’s a stunt oven right? Your real oven isn’t that clean…right? Or you cleaned it just for pictures…right?
Gotta go. I’m shamed into going to buy a can of Easy Off.
It actually looks pretty yummy.
THis with Jalapeno Cornbread would be amazing! YUM!
Thanks so much 😉
That looks really good! I putting all these great recipes together to try! TFS
This sounds wonderful. My family doesn’t care for beans, but I think they could easily be taken out. The dish would still be yummy!
Bonnie- don’t worry you can easily leave the beans out or sub them with a can of corn.
Ginger- I will have to check that out!
