How To Make cheesy beef enchilada pie
-
Step 1Cook ground beef and drain well. Fry 18( or enough for 3 layers in a 9x13) corn tortillas until lightly brown ( about 30 seconds each side)
-
Step 2Pulse up green chiles if using whole ones, can pulse your roasted red peppers at the same time.
-
Step 3Mix red enchilada sauce, green chiles, roasted red peppers, New Mexico chile powder and cooked ground beef.
-
Step 4Place a layer of the tortillas in bottom in bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Spread half the beef mixture over them and then add half the cheese over it. ( I just shredded mine in the same bowl and mixed it up.) Add another layer of tortillas then the meat mixture then cheese, end with a layer of tortillas.

Step 5pour the queso blanco over the top cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven. ( I turned my broiler on for a couple of minutes and browned the cheese)
