TIJUANA TORTE
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (1 lb.) stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
12 corn tortillas
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chiles (optional)
1 pkg. Lawry's taco seasoning mix
1 lb. Cheddar cheese, grated
Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet; drain the fat. Add stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chilies and taco seasoning mix. Combine thoroughly and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
Place about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 9 x
13-inch baking dish. Place 2 tortillas side by side on the meat mixture. Top each tortilla with some meat mixture and grated cheese. Repeat until each stack contains 6 tortillas layered with meat and cheese. Bake in a moderate 350ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Make sure you cover this with foil before baking. Cut each torte (stack) into quarters with a sharp knife before serving. Makes 4 to 6
servings.
