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.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
