"Because I'm from Minnesota, this is a "hotdish", not a casserole. This is a combination of things I liked from a few different recipes. The result - deliciousness! A little zippy, but not overly hot."

Cook until beef is browned. Drain if too greasy.
Stir in soup, green chilies and tomatoes. Set aside.
Place 8 halves of the tortillas in the baking dish - straight edges matching straight sides of the pan - cover the entire bottom on the dish. There will be some overlapping.
In a medium bowl, whisk together one can of enchilada sauce and refried beans.
Pour this mixture over the tortillas and spread evenly and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Layer 8 more halves of tortilla over this.
Cover with meat mixture and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
