Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve tortillas. Thinly slice green onion.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork and half the peppers. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Add Mexican Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Add crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup water (3/4 cup for 4 ppl) and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces slightly, 4-6 min.
Lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl), then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Spread some filling on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half the tortillas over top. (TIP: It's okay if tortilla pieces overlap.) Top with half the remaining filling, then half the cheese. Repeat with remaining tortillas, remaining filling and remaining cheese.
Bake casserole in the middle of the oven until cheese is melted and layers are heated through, 7-10 min.
Meanwhile, add half the vinegar (use all for 4 ppl), 1/4 tsp sugar and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add spinach, remaining peppers and half the green onions, then toss to combine.
Let casserole cool for 5 min, then cut into slices. Divide casserole and salad between plates. Dollop sour cream over casserole, then sprinkle remaining green onions over top.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The casserole is well-seasoned and satisfying, though some reviewers found the tomato flavour dominant and the overall spice level a touch mild.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this quick and straightforward to assemble; a few noted the layering instructions could be clearer.
- Suggestions: Use fewer tortilla layers or a smaller pan to avoid a doughy, soggy result; adding black beans, extra cheese, or a splash of hot sauce helps boost flavour and filling volume. Some reviewers found that briefly frying the tortillas before layering kept the texture firmer after baking.
- Leftovers: The casserole reheats reasonably well the next day, though the tortillas absorb moisture over time and can become soft.
- Salad: The spinach side salad was widely described as plain; adding cucumber, tomato, pumpkin seeds, or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dressing made it more enjoyable.
