Tortilla Tower- favorite recipe!

A LONG time ago someone had asked me to share my favorite recipe. Then life happened and I totally forgot, but I had actually taken the photos and just didn't write the post... until now! So here it is, one of our favorite recipes and a staple in our house- an easy go to recipe because I usually have all of these things in our pantry.

Tortilla Tower (what we've always called it)- could also be called Enchilada Casserole.

Here's what you need:
Corn Tortillas- probably a dozen or more, we like a lot of tortillas in it.
1 can refried beans
1 lb. ground beef cooked
1 can enchilada sauce (I use the small can but if you like enchiladas really wet, you can get the large can)
Shredded Cheese
1 can sliced black olives

First pour a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan, just enough to give a light coating. Then lay down a layer of corn tortillas; I usually break them down to make sure the corners have tortilla in them.

Next, spread a layer of refried beans over the tortillas- if you warm the beans first them will spread a little easier.

Then add a layer of ground beef.

Finally top that with cheese and olives, then another layer of enchilada sauce.

Then start all over and add another layer of everything!

Cover with foil- Put it in the over for 30-45 minutes at 400 degrees until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

When done it should look like this- serve with salad, bread, or rice and ENJOY!
