Preparation

Step 1

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet, stirring until crumbly, and drain. Add the chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin and tomatoes, and mix well. Cook for about 5 minutes, and set aside. Beat the egg in a medium bowl. Add the cottage cheese, garlic powder and Monterey Jack cheese, and mix well. Line the bottom and sides of a 9" x 13" baking pan with the tortillas. Spread the ground beef mixture in the prepared pan. Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the ground beef layer. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is brown. Top with the cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, onion and jalapeno peppers. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
