i've also heard this called "mexican lasgna" or "mexican casserole" because its a layered dish. my mom used to make all the time when i was growing up, and i loved it then and now my family loves it too. its definitely not fancy, but i like to add fresh salsa to mine and my husband likes to add tapatio, (its in the condiment aisle, a little spicey.)
1-2 lbs ground beef (i have made it with 1lb and i like more beef so i use closer to 2lbs)
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 7oz can diced green chiles
mix together and cook until beef is no longer pink, drain fat and set aside
(optional, can add onions and fresh green pepper while cooking the beef)
assemble the following ingredients before its time to layer:
12 corn tortillas
2-3 cups grated cheddar cheese (i like to throw in some monterey jack if i have it)
1 lrg can refried beans
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup sliced black olives
layer as follows in a greased 9x13 pan:
1) 4 tortillas
2)1/2 meat mix
3)1/2 cheese
4)4 tortillas
5)can of beans
6)2/3 sour cream
7)green onions and olives
8)4 tortillas
9)remaining cheese
10) remaining beef
bake 350 20-30 minutes or until bubbly, top with sour cream before serving.
ps- the meat goes on last so the cheese doesn't burn, make sure you have enough beef to cover the cheese
