Mexican Lasagna

Just made this last night. It was quick & easy, and best of all...my little munchkins loved it. And it's no easy feat to get them to eat dinner anymore.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups salsa
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
1 can enchilada sauce
1 can chopped green chilies
1 envelope taco seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 flour tortillas
3 cups shredded cheese
2 cups broken tortilla chips
sour cream, sliced ripe olives, guacamole, and chopped tomatoes, optional

Directions:
Cook beef in large skillet & drain. Stir in salsa, beans, enchilada sauce, chilies, and taco seasoning. Heat through.

Spread 1 cup sauce in a greased 13x9x2 baking dish. Layer with two tortillas, a third of the meat mixture and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining tortillas & meat mixture.

Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese, & top with tortilla chips. Bake 10-15 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream, olives, guacamole, and tomatoes if desired.

I left out the onion, garlic & pepper, but it still turned out really good. And since my boys are olive lovers, I put a layer of olives under the last layer of cheese & tortillas. I only wish I had a picture of just how much Luke enjoyed this.
