Directions

1. Mexican Pizza: Start by browning the ground beef in a pan, then drain the fat. Add water and taco seasoning to the beef. Heat the tortillas in vegetable oil until they are slightly crispy. On each tortilla, spread refried beans, the cooked beef mixture, red enchilada sauce, and sprinkle cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted. Top with Roma tomatoes, sliced olives, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream before serving.

2. Easy Mexican Spaghetti: Cook spaghetti according to the package instructions and set aside. In a skillet, sauté chopped yellow onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add the ground hamburger and cook it until it’s brown. Mix in diced fire-roasted tomatoes, canned pinto beans, corn, and garlic powder. Combine this mix with the spaghetti. Top with shredded cheese, fresh avocado slices, and a bit of salsa before serving.

3. Chicken Taco Casserole: In a bowl, mix cream soup, salsa, sour cream, and chicken taco seasoning. In a baking dish, layer crushed tortilla chips, shredded chicken, seasoned black beans, and a mix of cheeses. Pour the soup mixture over the top and bake until it’s bubbly. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

4. Mexican Meatloaf: Combine lean ground beef, whole milk, eggs, taco seasoning, onion, and green chiles in a bowl. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish. Bake until it’s fully cooked through. Once done, top with crushed tortilla chips and cheese, then return it to the oven until the cheese melts. Serve with chopped cilantro.
