Fiesta Tamale Lasagna -Lisa

One of the ways my Mom loves to use leftover chili is to make a tamale pie. I took it a little bit in a different direction and used tortillas instead of cornbread. Using the salsa gives you the quick sauce you need if you don't have leftover chili and just want this for a yummy dinner.It also freezes beautifully.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground chuck
1 container El Sol Salsa
1 tablespoon each cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder
2 cups beef broth

Directions

Combine all in a skillet and cook on medium heat until meat is browned and liquid is reduced. 10 or 12 medium flour , 3 cups cheddar cheese 1 can black olives, sliced 1 can mexicorn 1can hominy Start the layers with a little sauce on bottom. Then tear tortillas in fourths and began layering. Sauce, olives, corn, hominy and then cheese. Continue until you reach the top and cover it with cheese and pickles jalapeno slices. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with extra salsa and sour cream on the side. Of course this just gets better as leftovers!

Bacon Guacamole Sammies

[vc_row full_width="" css=".vc_custom_1521491967223{margin-top: 20px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_single_image image="3510" img_size="full" alignment="center"][vc_column_text]

Bacon Guacamole Sammies

Ingredients: 4 strips of thick-cut pastured bacon Guacamole El Sol Medium Salsa It’s ridiculously easy to cook bacon in the microwave oven. (Clean-up is simple, too.) Just wrap a few slices between some sheets of paper towel, stick it all on a microwave-safe plate, and nuke away for about two-and-a-half minutes. If you find that your bacon’s not yet crisp, just nuke it a bit longer. (If you don’t use a microwave, use this method to bake your bacon in the oven.) If you’re pressed for time, simply mash up the flesh of half an avocado, and cut up the other half into half-inch cubes. Then mix both halves together in a bowl to get a nice blend of chunky ‘n creamy. Flavor it with a few spoonful’s of El Sol Salsa and a squirt or two of lime juice and a generous pinch of kosher salt.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Using a bowl or large circle cutter, cut out 6" round discs from pie crust. You should be able to get 3 from each crust making 6 total with a 7th created out of the leftover dough rolled out. Place 2 - 3 Tablespoons of mixture in the center of each pie disc. Top with cheese. Fold over and seal edges with a fork. Place Empanadas on a cookie sheet.
