The Fantabulous Chronicles

Beware, brave souls, for within the realm of eerie edibles lies a concoction that melds the haunting essence of lasagna and the spectral allure of tacos. This spine-chilling recipe, a dinner fit for the unearthed, beckons the possibility of awakening the dormant spirits!

Regrettably, our macabre munchkins didn’t quite embrace this sinister fusion; it seems ground meat fails to charm their ghostly palates. Yet, Aaron and I reveled in the ghastly feast, crafting tombstone-shaped tortilla chips with a devilish delight. Perhaps, a more conventional approach—tacos crowned with tombstone chips—would have swayed the spectral skeptics?

Should you dare to tread the path of culinary necromancy, here lies the accursed recipe! Have you, too, ventured into the realm of eerie gastronomy with your kin? Share your tales of spectral banquets in the comments—what spine-tingling delights have you conjured?

Ingredients:
1lb ground meat of choice
1 small onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced ( about a tablespoon)
1 4 oz can of green chilies
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomato’s drained
1 can of enchilada sauce
6-7 burrito sized tortillas
1 can of refried beans
2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
Edible black marker( optional)

Directions:

Embark upon this spectral culinary ritual by summoning forth the essence of 1lb of ground meat, opting for the ghostly presence of turkey.

Next, conjure a small onion, diced, and infuse the concoction with a tablespoon of minced garlic. Allow the alchemical dance to unfold until the onions adopt a translucent guise.

Cast into the cauldron a packet of taco seasoning (or craft your own bewitching blend), a can of green chiles, and a drained can of diced tomatoes. Set this eldritch amalgamation aside for the forthcoming assembly.

Prepare the ritual vessel—a 9×13 pan—by anointing it with the sacred mist of cooking spray. Enkindle the oven’s flames to a temperature of 350, invoking the mystic forces that dwell within.

Begin the spectral arrangement by ladling about half of the enchilada sauce into the consecrated pan. Let the tortillas become the arcane canvas, concealing the bottom with a singular whole tortilla at the center and half-tortillas adorning the ethereal ends.

With a delicate touch, bestow a layer of refried beans upon the tortilla tapestry, an endeavor that requires finesse in the mystical arts.

Spoon and spread the sacred meat concoction atop the bean-laden layer, consecrating it with a sprinkle of cheese—an offering to the spirits.

Continue the mystical layering, introducing another stratum of tortillas, but this time anoint them with the enchilada sauce before spreading the sacred beans. Repeat this ritual, culminating in a crown of cheese atop the ethereal layers.

Consign this spectral creation to the oven’s abyss for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese morphs into a molten and slightly browned visage.

In the shadows, carve tombstone shapes from an extra tortilla, inscribing them with a black food marker bearing whimsical names or rest-in-peace litanies.

In a separate incantation, bake these tombstones for 10 minutes, until they attain a state of slight browning and crispiness.

Arrange the tombstones upon your taco lasagna, a macabre garnish to summon forth a feast for famished phantoms.

Serve this otherworldly creation with the elixirs of salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and avocado, completing the communion with the spirit realm.
