Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground beef, cooked and drained
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup corn kernels, thawed from frozen or freshly cooked
  • 2 cups salsa
  • 18 pieces 6-inch corn or flour tortillas

  • 1 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, mild
  • 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
  • Chopped green onions and fresh tomatoes for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat a greased skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef until browned.
  • Stir in taco seasoning, water, and chopped green onions. Mix in salsa and corn. Set mixture aside.

  • Top with 1/3 of the hatch chiles, ground beef mixture, Mexican cheese blend, and enchilada sauce.
  • Repeat the layering twice more, then sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes uncovered.

Notes

For extra heat, add jalapeños or use spicy enchilada sauce. Great served with sour cream or guacamole.
