Enchilada Casserole

[LVT25]

Put a layer of flour tortillas, then a layer of corn tortillas.

Put a little more enchilada sauce on top of torts.

Add a layer of hamburger mix.

Add a layer of shredded cheese. I like Monterey Jack/cheddar. Or "mexican blend".

Add a layer of corn torts.

Repeat layers until you have about a 40# casserole.

I end up with a layer of flour torts, sauce and cheese on top. Any combination of tortillas can be used.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or a few hours in the crockpot. The sauce will soak into the torts and the cheese just needs to melt.

Yumm.

Enchilada sauce:

2 sticks butter - 1 cup
1 cup flour
Lots of garlic powder (if using fresh, saute in the butter)
Lots of chili powder - More than you think
a bit of cumin (comino) - 1 - 2 tsps
salt
water (start with 2 cups and add more as it thickens until the right consistency)

melt butter, make a roux with flour, add water. Put in rest of ingredients, stir. Add more water if thickens too much.

voila
