Mom's Enchilada Casserole

An house wife's twist on a Mexican dish. My Mom used to make this for us all the time. It's quick and simple, a lot easier than rolling each individual enchilada. This recipe uses ground beef, beans, and green sauce, but the idea of this dish can be applied to any meat/cheese/sauce combination.

• 10 -15  corn tortillas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Warm refried beans. Combine with ground beef.
