Bev
decided she wanted to turn the remaining Cuban pork roast into Montezuma Pie
using a recipe from My Recipes.
Ingredients:
2
medium tomatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2
cup chopped onion
3/4
teaspoon salt
6
flour tortillas
Vegetable
oil
2
cups cooked, diced pork
1
(8-ounce) carton commercial sour cream
3
whole green chiles, chopped
2
cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Hot
pepper slices
Directions:
1. Place
tomatoes in container of an electric blender; process until pureed. Combine
tomatoes, onion, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil . Reduce heat; simmer
5 minutes or until onion is tender.
2. Cut
tortillas into fourths; fry in 1/4 inch hot oil 5 seconds on each side or until
softened and lightly browned. Drain well.
3. Layer
one-third of tortillas in a lightly greased 2-quart casserole. Layer half of
tomato mixture, diced pork, sour cream, green chiles, and cheese over
tortillas. Repeat procedure.
4. Cover
and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Place remaining tortillas around outside edge
of casserole. Bake, uncovered, an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with hot pepper
slices. Serve immediately.

notes:
1. You’d
better fry up extra tortillas or you may not have enough for the pie - with a little salt, they are addictive.
2. I
changed the cooking times a little based upon our outcome.
I’m
not sure how much the flavors in the Cuban pork influenced the final taste of
the dish, but I thought it was OMG delicious and when Madison tried it, she had a
similar reaction.

Hmm, did someone eat some of the tortillas a little early? So glad to see this happens at your house too :)
