Beef Enchilada Casserole-Definetly a FAVORITE in my household!! :)
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 tbsp Southwestern seasoning mix
1/4 tsp salt
1 can enchilada sauce
3/4 C water
1/2 C medium thick and chunky salsa
12 yellow corn tortillas
1/4 C snipped fresh cilantro
1 C shredded colby and monterey Jack cheese


(Sour cream and lime wedges-optional)


Combine beef, seasoning mix and salt in skillet, cook over med.-high heat 8-10 min. or until beef is no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles.  Add enchilada sauce, water and salsa to skillet. Bring to a simmer then remove from the heat.


As beef mixture cooks, place tortillas in a stack and cut into 1 in. pieces using a pizza cutter.  Snip cilantro.


Arrange half of the tortillas evenly over bottom of a deep dish pan. Top with half of the beef mixture and half of  the cheese.  Sprinkle 2tbsp. of the cilantro over cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, beef and cheese.


Microwave on high 3-5 min. or until cheese is melted and garnish with cilantro.  Serve with sour cream and lime wedges
