Enchilada Casserole

This is not your typical rolled up enchiladas covered with sauce recipe! Instead, I made it like a lasagna!

Enchilada Casserole Preview!
Why did I do it this way? Because once I make the rolled up enchiladas I have a hard time finding the dividing line between them, so doing it this way solved the problem for me! Most of this recipes instructions will be through the photos!
Ingredients
1 1/2#’s ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 package of taco seasoning
1/2 cup of water
1 small can of dice fire roasted green chilies
3 TBS chipotle chili paste
1 large can of enchilada sauce
4 1/2 burrito sized tortillas
3 cups of grated cheese, I used cheddar with a bit of jack
1 cup of salsa
Guacamole and Sour Cream to finish

Brown the beef with onion
Then drain the fat off the meat.

To the browned beef add green chilies, taco seasoning and chipotle sauce
Add the water and combine this well and heat to simmer. While the beef is waiting to simmer, grab your 13×9 baking pan.

Add enchilada sauce to baking pan

Do a layer of flour or corn tortillas
Notice the cut on the tortillas. Just like lasagna you want to bring the edges to all sides. By now the beef mixture should be good. Turn the heat off. Next,

On top of the tortillas, add a layer of cheese

Next add salsa

Next add the ground beef mixture

Cover with another layer of tortillas followed by the sauce

Next add another layer of cheese

Followed by another layer of tortillas and sauce

On top of the tortillas, add a layer of cheese
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. When done, remove from the oven.

Let this sit after it comes out of the oven for 5 minutes
Look at that beauty!

Slice and serve topped with sour cream and guacamole
Hopefully you might try making enchiladas this way! We are looking forward to the tasty leftovers tonight! The flavor should be even better tonight!
