Mexican Lasagna


Ingredients:
Mission Flour Tortillas Burrito Size
1 1/2lbs ground beef ( I prefer the leanest possible so this is 97/3 )
2 tbsp. Mexican seasonings ( McCormick Perfect Pinch Mexican )
2 small jars salsa ( 32oz is your goal )
1 can small sliced olives
1 can small sliced jalapenos
1 can refried beans ( 16oz )
2 cups rice
2 cups shredded cheese ( any variety but again I prefer the 2% Mexican )

Directions:
Brown your ground beef with your seasonings. Combine salsa. Set Aside.
Combine your  refried beans & rice. Set aside.
Cut your tortillas in half. You will only need 4 tortillas total, or 8 halves.
Layer your pan with a scoop of the meat/salsa. Not a lot, just so the bottom of the pan is lightly covered. Place your tortilla over it, slightly overlapping to make a full circle that fits into a 9inch cake pan. Spread rice mixture over tortilla. Spoon in meat/salsa. Top with cheese & olives/jalapenos. Repeat the process. I only did this twice because my pans were slightly shallow. If you have a deeper pan you can repeat more frequently. I made 2 pans because my family all likes different ingredients in theirs.
Bake in the oven on 350 for 10-15 minutes. Just enough to melt the cheese and make it bubbly. I also top ours off with a dollop of sour cream.
