Tortilla Stack

"All You; Eat Well, Save Big"

Prep: 20 minutes
Bake 12 minutes
Serves 4

4 10-inch flour tortillas

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt

1 pound extra-lean ground beef

½ cup tomato sauce

1 cup green salsa

6 ounce grated pepper Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 450˚F. Place a skillet on the stovetop over high heat. Mist tortillas with cooking spray and toast in skillet, turning once, until golden, about 1 minute.

Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, spices and salt; sauté for 1 minute. Add beef and sauté, breaking into small pieces, until cooked, about 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, reduce heat and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Place a tortilla on a baking sheet misted with cooking spray. Spread with one-third each of beef mixture, salsa and cheese. Repeat with 2 more layers of beef, salsa and cheese. Top with remaining tortilla; press to adhere. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
