Instructions
- • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to
425 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch
baking dish for 8 servings) with nonstick cooking spray
and set aside. Wash and dry produce.
• Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Roughly chop cilantro.
Quarter lime. - • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan
over high heat. Add pork*, onion, and half the Tex-Mex
paste (all for 8 servings). Season with Fajita Spice Blend,
salt, and pepper.
• Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until onion is tender
and pork is cooked through, 6-8 minutes. (For 8, cook in
batches, adding a drizzle of oil for each batch, or use a
second large pan.)
• Remove from heat. Carefully blot any excess grease in pan
with paper towels. - • In prepared baking dish, layer half the pork mixture
(using a slotted spoon), half the refried beans, half
the pico de gallo (draining first), and half the Mexican
cheese blend. Repeat with remaining pork mixture,
remaining refried beans, remaining pico de gallo, and
remaining cheese.
• Bake casserole on middle rack until cheese melts,
8-10 minutes. - • Garnish casserole with cilantro.
• Serve family style with guacamole, sour cream, lime
wedges, and tortilla chips on the side.
