Delicious Nacho Bake

This is so delicious! It's dinner in a pan. There's no need for anything else.


Nachos, Rolisweets












Ingredients
1 pack of crescent rolls
1 1/2 lb. of ground turkey (or beef if you prefer)
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp of dried cilantro
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 16 oz. can of re-fried beans
2 cups of salsa
1/2 cup of lite sour cream
3 cups of thinly shredded Mexican blend cheese 
1/2 (13) oz bag of restaurant style tortilla chips
2 cups of shredded lettuce
Nonstick cooking oil spray

Directions
Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Prepare a 13" x 9" baking pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking oil spray and then unroll the crescent rolls onto the prepared baking pan. Using your fingers, pinch the perforated seams together so that the dough is in the shape of a rectangle and covers the entire bottom of the pan.  Set aside.

Heat a large skillet on medium high heat and add the meat. Season the meat with the cumin, cilantro, and black pepper and cook until browned. Add the onions when the meat it almost done.



While the meat is cooking, add the salsa and sour cream to a small bowl and stir together until well blended.


When the meat is done cooking, add the re-fried beans to the meat and heat and stir until the beans are well blended with the meat. 

Next, add the meat mixture to the prepared baking pan.


 Top the meat with one cup of the shredded cheese.


 Top the cheese with the salsa and sour cream mixture.



 Top the salsa mixture with the remaining cheese.


Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and top with the nachos. Place the pan back into the oven and cook for four more minutes.



 Remove the pan from the oven and top with the shredded lettuce and serve!



Enjoy!
Makes 6 - 8 servings.
