Tortilla Lasagne Recipe
Made from stuff we had in the fridge the day before grocery shopping, now we have it all the time. Sometimes we put in black or red kidney beans.
Ingredients
- Packet of flour tortillas
- 450g minced beef (hamburger for Americans)
- One onion, finely chopped
- Crushed garlic
- Grated zucchini and carrot (or any finely chopped veges)
- 1 tsp each of cinnamon, dried thyme, cumin
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- Butter
- Flour
- Vegetable stock
- Grated cheese
- seasoning to taste
Directions
- In a pan cook mince until browned and add the onion and garlic.
- When the onion is translucent add the spices, stir through and add in veges
- After a few minutes when they are softish add in the tomatoes.
- Turn right down and put a lid on the pan
- In a saucepan melt a good sized knob of butter then add a couple of tablespoons of flour and let sizzle a little
- Slowly add vegetable or beef stock (from a cube is fine) and whisk after each addition until thickened.
- Add in about half a cup of tasty grated cheese and stir until melted.
- Oil the bottom of a round casserole and put a tortilla in the bottom
- Add some of the meat in a good layer then a layer of the sauce mix, then another tortilla. I only had about 4 tortillas so do big thick layers
- Finish with a tortilla, some of the cheese sauce then another tortilla brushed with oil. This one goes all crunchy and the kids love it.
- Bake in the oven at 180 c or 450 f until the tortilla on the top is nice and crispy and brown.
- I take off the top tortilla and cut it into 4, then spoon the lasagne onto plate and put the tortilla wedge on top with some grated cheese.
