Zubereitung von Casserole Quiche With Crisp Fried Tortilla Pieces

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut 6-8 corn or flour tortillas into 8 wedges each.
  3. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tortilla wedges in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, or your favorite Mexican seasoning. Set aside. (Optional: Prepare these 1 day ahead.)
  5. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 bell pepper (any color, chopped). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1 cup salsa, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Grease a 3-quart shallow casserole dish.
  9. Layer half of the crispy tortilla wedges in the bottom of the dish.
  10. Top with half of the beef mixture, then half of 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Add 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeños (or other chile strips) over the cheese.
  12. Repeat layers with remaining beef mixture, cheese, and tortilla wedges, arranging the remaining wedges with points up around the edge of the dish.
  13. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  14. Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  15. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden brown.
  16. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sliced black olives, if desired.
