Preparation

Step 1

Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Stir tomato sauce and next 6 ingredients into meat mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Place half of tortillas in bottom of a greased 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Spoon half of beef mixture over tortillas; sprinkle with 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas and beef mixture.

Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

Notes
•Add a little heat to this dish by substituting equal amounts of Monterey Jack cheese with peppers for the Cheddar. Green chili peppers add nice color as well as a bit more spice! And the best part is that more or less can be added depending on your taste!
