Skillet Pork and Tortilla Casserole

Keep that black iron or other overproof skillet handy—this one-dish meal is going to become a favorite. This is a classic way of using up old or stale flour or corn tortillas.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound thin-cut boneless pork chops, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (12-ounce) can corn, drained
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups thick and chunky salsa
1 (16-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
6 (6-inch) flour tortillas, cut into quarters
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
2. Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook pork and onion 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in corn and flour until well blended. Add salsa, beans and chiles. Bring to boil; simmer, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
3. Pour into a large bowl. Spoon 1/2 cup pork mixture back into skillet to cover bottom. Arrange half of the tortilla quarters over pork mixture; overlapping slightly. Spoon half of the remaining pork mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle with half the cilantro. Repeat tortilla and pork layers.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
5. Sprinkle cheese over pork mixture as soon as it is removed from oven. Top with sour cream and remaining cilantro. Cut into wedges to serve.

Makes 6 servings.
