Pork Fajita Casserole image

I was looking for something like fajitas, but not to messy to eat. I surfed around this site and created this from several other recipes. Thanks to all those who inspired this recipe.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium green pepper, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
20 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup salsa
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
8 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Combine first 14 ingredients in a large zip top bag, mix well, refrigerate over night for best flavor.
  • Combine soup, rotel tomatoes, and salsa.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick skillet and cook pork until just about done. Add peppers and onion and cook an additional 10 minutes.
  • Spray the bottom on a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
  • Layer tortillas, soup mixture, meat mixture, then cheese.
  • Repeat ending with the cheese.
  • Cover with foil and cook at 350 for30 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 10 minutes or till bubbling. Remove from oven and let sit about 10 minutes.
  • I would have preferred to make this a bit more spicy, but I am the only one in my family that likes it that way. Serve with sour cream if desired.
