I had a serious craving for garlic, onions and everything spicy last night. Surprised myself with the final outcome. Everything went so well together.
Ground beef, chopped onions & garlic cloves
In a large pot, brown 4 pounds ground beef, salt & pepper to taste, Drain most of the grease, but not all. Add chopped onion, garlic, taco seasoning and 2 cups chicken stock;. Let that simmer while melting butter and flour in a medium size pot, whisk until mixed well and add 2 cups of chicken stock; bring to a boil and when thickened turn down heat to simmer.
Jalepeno Cheese Sauce
Stir in 2-3 Tbl cayenne powder, 1 c shredded pepper jack cheese, can of green chillis, 1 Tbl garlic powder and two hefty pinches of salt. Turn heat off for both pots.
Using a large casserole dish, begin layer one – overlap cut tortillas across bottom, covering as much of dish as possible. Spoon in meat mixture, spoon cheese sauce over meat, sprinkle black beans, tomatoes, jalapenos and about a cup of pepper jack cheese, start over with layer two,
1st Layer…Mexican Lasagna
and then three. End the top layer with either, or both, of the cheeses.
Cook in 350* oven for 35-45 minutes, until browned on top.
Serve with lettuce, sour cream, and chopped olives.
