"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

1 lb hamburg

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º.

Fry hamburg and italian sausage, as it starts to brown, add chopped onion. Fry until onion is translucent. Add taco seasoning mix and stir until combined. Add tomato paste and enough water so it is not so thick, more saucy. Turn off heat. Combine refried beans with chopped cilantro, set aside. Drain liquid from olives and poblano chilis. Spread a thin amount of butter on about 8 or so corn tortillas. Spread a layer of refried beans on corn tortilla, place in bottom of dish. (Use an 8 x 8, tall corningware dish or small dutch oven.) Spread on layer of meat. Add about for dollops of sour cream and spread over meat. Sprinkle slice poblano and black olives. Finish with grated cheese. Continue to layer until all of the ingredients are used up. Add 1 cup of water to the dish. Bake in oven for 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes and serve.

I made a version of this when I was in my early 20s. This is my own concoction -- since there was no recipe, I just threw together what sounded good! :)
