This casserole has been in our recipe repertoire for quite a few years and never disappoints. I honestly don't even know where this recipe came from. But that doesn't matter now, does it? Not since I decided to share it with you!
We love mexican cuisine... we usually have at least one dinner a week that is in the cuisine and this is one of our favorites. Normally we use ground turkey for our casseroles just to save on some fat/calories, but it certainly doesn't take away from flavor.
Layered Fiesta Casserole

1 onion, chopped

Brown meat with onions & peppers in a large skillet. Drain. Return to stove. Stir in salsa, tomatoes, & corn. Bring to a boil.
Spoon 1 cup of meat mixture into a 13x9 dish. Top with 6 tortillas, overlapping if necessary. Cover with 1/2 of the remaining mixture. Top with cheese. Add remaining 6 tortillas, cover with meat and top with cheese.

To accompany this dish, I made Skinnytaste's Cilantro Lime Rice which was the first time that we made it and it was really delicious.
