Stacked Enchilada Casserole

One of our family favorite Tex Mex dishes is Stacked Enchilada's and that original recipe is in my cookbook Miz Helen's Kitchen Table.  I was invited to a covered dish dinner recently and asked if I could bring my Stacked Enchiladas and that is really not a dish that can be transported easily so I got busy in my kitchen and developed Stacked Enchilada Casserole. I took it to the dinner and everyone loved it. It would be a perfect dish for Cinco de Mayo or any other Mexican Food occasion.

Directions
In a large hot skillet add the ground chuck and minced garlic, brown the chuck and remove from heat
Drain off any grease
To the browned and drained chuck add the chili powder,cumin, chipotle chili powder, salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.
Pour the 2 cans of Enchilada Sauce into a medium size skillet and bring the sauce to a medium low temperature, making sure not to get to hot
Cut the tortilla's in half and taking one half at a time dip the tortilla into the sauce and then put the tortilla into a 8X11 baking dish. 
Be sure that you dip only the tortillas that will go on the layer, be sure and dip them one layer at a time
Covered the entire bottom of the baking dish with 1/2 of the dipped tortillas
Next layer the browned, drained and seasoned chuck
Next layer some chopped tomatoes
Next layer some chopped yellow onions
Next layer 1/2 the graded cheese
Next layer the remainder of the dipped tortillas
Next pour 3/4 cup of the warm Enchilada Sauce over the dish
Top with the remainder of the graded cheese
Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees until all the cheese is melted and bubbling on top
Serve with chopped lettuce, chopped green onions and tomatoes with salsa on top
Recipe Tip
The Casserole will freeze well without the garnish of lettuce, green onions and tomatoes

    Anything Mexican and I am pulling up a chair! This casserole looks so good, I usually end up making enchiladas with flour tortillas, instead of corn because the corn ones always crack. I need to try your method with dipping and layering, sounds easier too! Yum, thanks!

    Definitely mouth-watering. I love that you post the layers step-by-step. It's much easier than JUST reading steps in a recipe.

    Being from the midwest, I love everything with casserole in the title! Even better when it's an enchilada casserole! This looks so much easier than regular rolled enchiladas :)
