Layered Fiesta Casserole

I was just using some ingredients I had on hand, and this turned out to be a good one that I found on the Kraft Food site.  It was easy to throw together, and a good way to get some veggies in.


Layered Fiesta Casserole

1 lb. extra-lean ground beef

1   green pepper, chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

1 jar  (16 oz.) Thick 'N Chunky Salsa

1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 pkg.  (10 oz.) frozen corn, thawed

12 corn tortillas (6 inch)

1-1/2 cups  KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided

HEAT oven to 375°F.
BROWN meat with peppers in large skillet; drain. Return to skillet. Stir in salsa, tomatoes and corn.
SPREAD 1 cup meat mixture onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with 6 tortillas, overlapping as necessary. Cover with layers of half each of the remaining meat mixture and cheese; top with remaining tortillas and meat mixture. Cover with foil.
BAKE 25 to 30 min. or until heated through. Top with remaining cheese; let stand 5 min. or until melted.
