Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Add oil to large skillet on medium high. Add onions & garlic

  2. 2

    After about 5min, add ground beef & seasonings. Cook til browned & drain grease

  3. 3

    Add sauce, salsa & 3/4 of chiles to hamburger meat. I would use all the chiles but it would be too spicy for kids. Use as much as you like

  4. 4

    Lower heat to med/med low & let cook about 15 min. During that time, heat beans, shred cheese & tear tortillas in 4's

  5. 5

    In a 9×13 baking pan, spoon a small amount of meat mixture in pan to lightly cover bottom. The helps prevent tortillas from sticking

  6. 6

    Using 10 tortillas, layer the pieces, overlapping alot. This helps absorb juices

  7. 7

    Spoon 1/2 the meat mixture on tortillas & spread evenly. Dallop 1/2 the beans over the meat. Using 1/2 the cheese, sprinkle on top

  8. 8

    Repeat layers once more, topping with cheese. Make sure all tortillas are covered with meat or cheese to avoid toughness. Cover with foil. Bake @350· for 15/20min. Last 5min remove foil. Let sit 5-10 min before serving. Enjoy!
