- Feel free to add beans if you like them… no need to drain. Mix cooked rice together with tomato/onion/garlic mixture.
- Brown the ground beef using about 3 tablespoons chili powder, 1 1/2 tablespoon, paprika and 1 1/2 tablespoon of cumin and salt to taste with about 4-6 ounces of water to create the taco beef.
- Spread one container of salsa verde in the bottom of a large casserole or baking dish. Layer on tortillas covering salsa verde. Some overlapping is expected.
- Divide your rice mixture in half and spread it over the layer of tortillas. Divide cheese in half and layer it on top of the rice layer. Approximately 24 ounces of cheese per layer.
- Add another layer of tortillas on top of your cheese layer. Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas and spread it out evenly.
- Add layer of browned ground beef. Add 3 cans of corn (drained) on top of beef layer. Then the remaining amount of rice mixture on top of corn layer followed by the remaining jar of salsa verde, on top of which you will add the remaining cheese (approximately 24ounces) to the top…this is our final layer of ingredients. Sprinkle top with some taco seasoning or cayenne pepper.
- Bake at 375 º for 25-35 minutes until cheese has melted and begins to brown a bit.
