Happy Cinco de Mayo! 

This Mexican celebration is a huge deal here in San Antonio so I thought I would make a meal worthy of such a party! This easy to assemble casserole is made with tortillas layered with rice, beans, cheese, and salsa chicken or pork. Cut into “cake slices” and serve sprinkled with toppings!

Cinco De Mayo Taco Cake

Ingredients

  • 5 large burrito sized tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked meat {I like shredded chicken or pork carnitas}
  • 1 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Mexican rice cooked
  • 1 cup refried beans warmed
  • sliced olives for garnish
  • tortilla strips for garnish
  • sour cream for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add 1/4 cup salsa to the bottom of an 8X8 baking dish. Spread to cover.
  • Pour remaining salsa into bowl of pork and stir to coat.
  • Spread a tortilla with refried beans and place in the baking dish.
  • Top with a scoop of rice, spreading to cover.
  • Next, add a couple spoonfuls of pork then top with a handful of cheese.
  • Repeat these steps four more times.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and cake is heated through.
  • Top with a sprinkle of sliced olives, tortilla strips, and a drizzle of sour cream if desired.
  • Cut into portions and serve warm.

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈

Happy Birthday to my Mom! We were lucky this year to be together (finally!) to celebrate. We started with a delicious brunch at @sybillstj and then enjoyed the gorgeous sunny day with a walk around Meremac Springs. It was a great day with some of my favorite people! #mymom #birthday #happybirthday #missourilife

🌯Late #CincoDeMayo post! My first visit to @forttacostl last night was delicious! I tried a variety and loved it all. They were out of pork but that gives me an excuse to go back and try the al pastor pork and homemade sauce next time!

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
