Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR chopped chicken
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix, OR make from a shortcut
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 can refried beans, OR make from a shortcut
  • 2-3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, OR make from a shortcut
  • 4 ounces sour cream, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180 C.
  • Brown the ground beef and onion, drain off the fat. Add taco seasoning and stir in refried beans (the home made slow cooker refried beans recipe on this site would be an excellent choice) and cook for just a few minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Mix the soup (no water) and sour cream in a separate bowl.
  • Spread 1/2 the soup mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Tear up 3 tortillas and spread over the soup mixture.
  • Spread 1/2 the meat mixture of the tortillas, and add a layer of cheese.
  • Repeat the layers ending up with cheese on the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown a bit and is bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, serve.

Notes

500 grams of minced pork is about 55 Baht, ground beef would be about 110 Baht for 500 grams. Tortillas, store bought, will add to the cost about 200 Baht, Cheddar cheese will add 180 Baht minimum. For 6 servings, this is about $2.14 per serving.
If you make the shortcuts listed, this will reduce the cost.
The beauty of this recipe, you can easily tailor this, such as using chicken instead of beef or pork, adding fresh chilis, etc.
