Lettuce
Canned jalapeños
Refried beans recipe
Instructions:
Heat oil in a pan. Add the corn tortillas, cooking each side for about 5 seconds. Fold the tortillas and let the excess oil drip off. This makes it easier to fill the tacos.
Place two scoops of refried beans inside each tortilla. Add shredded cheese on top of the beans—spoon salsa on one side and down the middle of the tortilla. Optionally, use wax patty papers to keep the tacos together and prevent them from falling apart.
Place the filled tortillas in a baking dish. Add thinly sliced onions on the side of the baking dish. This will help produce steam and add flavor. Pour the juice from the can of pickled jalapenos over the onions. If you prefer less spice, you can use water instead. Optionally, pour some pickle juice over the onions for additional flavor.
Cover the baking dish with foil to produce steam. Preheat the oven to 380°F (about 193°C). Place two cups of water in another baking dish and place it at the bottom of the oven rack. Bake the casserole for 25 to 30 minutes.
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven. Serve the tacos hot with your choice of sides, such as shredded lettuce.
Tips:
- Ensure the tortillas have a crispy coating when frying them to help them hold together better during baking.
- The wax papers can be very helpful to keep the tacos intact if the tortillas are prone to falling apart.
Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking and preferences. Enjoy this delicious tacos al vapor casserole!
