Rachael Rays Tacozagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Heat a large high sided skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
• Add the meat and brown, 5 minutes.
• While meat browns, grate the zucchini and carrots with a box grater.
• Add the vegetables to the meat and grate in the onion and garlic.
• Season the meat with chili, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper and cook 7 to 8 minutes more to soften vegetables.
• Stir in beef stock.
• Grease a 8x13-" baking pan with vegetable oil.
• Layer in 3 overlapping flour tortillas and top with 1/3 meat, 1/3 cheese.
• Repeat the layers twice and bake 10-12 minutes to brown cheese.
• Top with scallions, lettuce and tomatoes, cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together 2 packages muffin mix with 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons melted butter (melt in microwave 30 seconds), 1 1/2 cups milk and frozen corn kernels. Wipe a nonstick skillet with a little extra or vegetable oil and pour in the muffin mix. Use a large skillet, 10 to 12 inch. Choose a pan with oven safe handle or, double-wrap handle with foil to protect it in the oven. Place pan in oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes in center of the oven until light golden in color.
• Brown the meat over medium high heat in a second skillet in extra or vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add onions and spices and cook meat 5 minutes more.
• Remove cornbread from oven and top with meat, cheese, and veggies. Add pan back to oven and cook 5 minutes more to melt cheese. Garnish with cilantro, optional. Cut into 8 wedges and serve the deep dish pan pizza from the skillet. Pass taco sauce at the table to sprinkle on top.

Steps:

• 1. Spray the tin pan with cooking spray or wipe with extra virgin olive oil. Place two wrap shells in the bottom layed side by side (they may over lap but that's okay)
• 2. In a pan cook the ground beef or turkey. Drain off the excess grease and place the drained meat back in the pan. Add minced garlic, onion, salt & pepper and stir. Add the beef broth and taco seasoning. If you like stronger taco flavor add more than one packet, also don't add so much broth that it makes the beef too wet. Let the meat simmer for about 10 min stirring occasionally.
• 3. Take half the meat and cover the wrap layer with meat. Then cover the meat layer with about half the cheese. Repeat the steps for the next layer. I usually only get two layers to fit in the pan.
• 4. Place the assembled dish in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 min or until the cheese is melted but not burnt. Top with the shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes if desired. Cut into squares and serve.
• 5. Due to the large amount of beef or turkey I usually take half of the beef and prepare it then, repeat for the other half. That way I have the bottom and top portion done seperately. I will post photos of the steps the next time I make this.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil - twice around the pan. Add chicken and season with chili powder, cumin, and red onion. Brown the meat, 5 minutes. Add taco sauce or stewed or fire roasted tomatoes. Add black beans and corn. Heat the mixture through, 2 to 3 minutes then season with salt, to your taste.
• Coat a shallow baking dish with remaining extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon oil. Cut the tortillas in half or quarters to make them easy to layer with. Build lasagna in layers of meat and beans, then tortillas, then cheese. Repeat: meat, tortilla, cheese again. Bake lasagna 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is brown and bubbly. Top with the scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil, add pasta and salt the water.
• While the water boils combine ricotta, Parmigiano, parsley and pepperoni in a large bowl and reserve.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the peppers, onions, garlic and mushrooms. Saute 6 to 8 minutes until tender and mushrooms are dark. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Stir in tomatoes and reduce heat to low.
• Add a ladle of starchy cooking water to the ricotta just before you drain the pasta. Drain pasta then toss with ricotta and pepperoni mixture. Pour pasta into a flameproof baking dish and top evenly with peppers, onion and mushroom sauce. Top with a layer of mozzarella, oregano and red pepper flakes. Place under hot broiler and melt cheese until golden and bubbly. Remove and serve with crusty bread.

Grease a 8 by 13-inch baking pan with vegetable oil. Layer in 3 overlapping flour tortillas and top with 1/3 meat, 1/3 cheese. Repeat the layers twice and bake 10 to 12 minutes to brown cheese. Top with scallions, lettuce and tomatoes, cut into squares and serve.
• While Tacosagna cooks, make dessert. Place cheesecake filling in bowl and mash in 2 really ripe bananas, season with cinnamon and stir in honey. Fill the crust tins and when you are ready to serve top with a swirl of whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, onion, eggs, the flour and cumin; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the spinach batter into the oil. Cook the fritters until crisp and browned, about 2 minutes on each side.
