1-1/2 cups coarsely crushed nacho cheese tortilla chips
2 cans (4 ounces each) whole green chiles
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese
1-1/2 pounds ground chuck
Salt and pepper, optional
1 pound pasteurized prepared cheese product
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles
In a blender or by hand, crush tortilla chips, place in a large flat bowl or
tray and set aside.
Drain green chiles, place on a paper towel and pat dry. Cut cream cheese
into 6 lengthwise strips. Stuff 1 strip of cream cheese into each whole
green chile.
Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions. On a piece of wax paper, pat out
the beef portions into thin wedge shapes. Sprinkle beef wedges with desired
amount of salt and pepper.
Place a stuffed green chile on each beef wedge. Roll beef around chile and
roll to seal edges and top. Roll each beef roll in the ground tortilla chips
until thoroughly coated.
Place beef rolls in glass casserole dish and bake in 450-degree oven for at
least 25 minutes or until beef is completely done.
While beef rolls are cooking, prepare a double boiler with water and bring
to boiling. Cut processed cheese into cubes and add the canned tomatoes and
chiles in pan. Melt cheese, stirring frequently.
Remove beef rolls to a serving plate and pour the cheese mixture over the
top. Sprinkle remaining crushed chips over the top. Serves 6. |
