directions

  • Preheat oven to 375*. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups cheddar with the monterey jack and set aside.
  • Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange 6 tortillas on the sheet so that the surface is covered, overlapping as needed. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese evenly over the tortillas, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides; cover with the remaining 6 tortillas, overlapping as needed. Prick the top layer with a fork and bake until the tortillas begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Add the beans and 1/4 cup water and mash until the beans are soft and the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the bean mixture over the tortillas, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the taco sauce, chilies, chorizo and reserved cheese mixture. Bake until the cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.

  1. Very good dish! I don't think the serving size on the nutritional is accurate -(if you ate that much you'd probably explode). I will keep this recipe for next time around for sure!
     
  2. This is a keeper. Made it for Pac Srping '08. I had to substitute big tortillas for small ones, and used all cheddar (all due to ingredients not being available in the UK), but it was still very good. I might try and figure out how to do this with a little less cheese, and halve the chorizo, to try and cut down on fat and calories, but as an indulgence, this is very good.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 24 year old who works in the Chicago theater community. I have a little bit of a food obsession and love to plan meals, cook for myself, cook for my girlfriend, and cook for large groups of people. My friends and I have a weekly "Food Club" where I make them food and they bring me booze. It's pretty much awesome- I get to cook and eat AND get free beer. It changes weekly depending what's cooking, but we have Grill Club, Chili Club, Taco Club, Soup Club- you get the idea. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
