Ingredients:

  • 2 tortillas, cut into pieces
  • 5 ounces ground beef
  • 1/3 cup kidney beans
  • 1/4 cup picante sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar

Instructions:

  1. Cook ground beef and season with cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  2. Stir in kidney beans and picante sauce.
  3. Layer tortilla pieces in a small baking dish or microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Spoon the beef-bean mixture over the tortillas and top with cheddar.
  5. Bake, toaster-oven bake, or microwave until hot and melty. Let it sit for 1 minute before eating.

Why it works: It has the cozy feeling of a small enchilada-style casserole without needing enchilada sauce.

Optional: Add guacamole or chopped cucumber after heating.
