How to Make Enchilada Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef (or cook chicken if using) over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet, then sauté the onion and garlic until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes and green chilies and enchilada sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer 3 tortillas in the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
  7. Spread one-third of the meat mixture over the tortillas.
  8. Sprinkle with one-third of each cheese.
  9. Repeat layers twice more: tortillas, meat mixture, cheese.
  10. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top layer.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is melted and golden brown.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
