INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 4 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a deep dish pie plate; set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion until beef is no longer pink; drain fat. Return to the heat and push the meat and onion to the sides of the pan. Add the garlic to the center of the pan and cook briefly. Stir the beef and onion together with the garlic.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder and salt to taste. Mix well and allow to thicken slightly.
  4. Spoon a thin layer of the beef mixture onto the bottom of the pie plate. Begin layering the tortilla, beef mixture, then cheese, ending with a final layer of cheese on the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Excellent recipe!! In the meat mixture, I added a can (14.5oz) of cut peeled tomatos and a can (4.5oz) chopped green chiles. I would recommend this recipe to anyone. Tasty and easy. Ps- I used the flour tortillas but cooked about 5 mins less than required and then let sit for 5 min before serving. YUMMY.

Great meal- I added corn, black beans, and diced green chiles. I served it with sour cream and salsa on the side. Whole family loved it!

With a few adjustments, this is an excellent recipe. Instead of the spices, I just pour in some taco seasoning. I also omit the tomato paste entirely (I don't keep paste in the house). I add a can of black beans and 1/2 can of corn, also. With those changes, this is an excellent casserole and it has become one of our staples - I make it and we eat it for lunches for the week.
