    List of Ingredients




    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    15 corn tortillas torn in pieces
    vegetable oil for sauteing
    meat of your choice, Pork, beef or ham or chicken cubed
    1 medium onion chopped
    1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
    chicken base or bouillon
    1 cup chopped green chile
    1 cup tomatoes with juice
    salt
    dash of oregano
    dash of cumin

    Recipe



    In a large skillet, saute the corn tortillas til slightly crisp. Set aside.

    In another skillet saute the meat of your choice till cooked through, add onions, garlic, tomatoes, and green chili. Mix base or bouillon with one cup of water and add to the meat mixture. Cook till liquid is slightly reduced, then add to the corn tortillas, mix well add water if necessary to make liquid level rise above tortillas. It should be visible around the edge of the skillet. Let this mixture cook over low heat till liquid is absorbed.

    Cover the surface with cheese and continue to cook additional 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool and refrigerate. We unmold the mixture onto pizza pan and cover and refrigerate. When we get ready to serve it we cut into appropriate portions heat in microwave for 2 minutes and serve with salsa, fresh fruit, Cuban custard and muffins. All of my guests have asked for this dish by name when they are returning for another visit.

    You may omit the meat for a vegetarian dish. This keeps well and can also be served whole as a buffet dish, and everyone can help themselves.
