Ingredients: 1 large can diced tomatoes; 1 med. can refried beans; 1 1/4 lb. ground beef; 2 cloves garlic; 1 onion; 1 1/2 c salsa; 18 corn tortillas; 3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese; 1 Enchillada spice mix packet; chili powder to taste; ground cayenne to taste

Ingredients

1 large can diced tomatoes1 med. can refried beans1 1/4 lb. ground beef2 cloves garlic1 onion1 1/2 c salsa18 corn tortillas3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese1 Enchillada spice mix packetchili powder to tasteground cayenne to taste

Directions

Brown meat, onions and garlic in a LARGE skillet. Add tomatoes, salsa, spice packet and beans. Mix well and simmer to thicken. Add additional spice to taste. While it's simmering, layer 1/3 of tortillas on the bottom of crockpot (works best in an oblong crockpot) sprayed with non-stick spray. You may want to slice tortillas into quarters to fit better and for easier serving. Cover with 1/3 sauce, then 1/3 cheese. Put down a second layer of tortillas, sauce and cheese. Finally add a third layer of tortillas, sauce and cheese. You may have a few quarters of tortillas left over. I cut them into smaller triangles and make designs on top. These tortilla pieces will curl a bit on the ends. Serves 12-20, depending on if this is the main meal or part of a potluck. Nutrition is for 1/18th of the recipe.

If you choose to bake this in the oven, use a 9x13 pan. You may need a few more tortillas or may only get 2 layers out of it. Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes, until cooked through and bubbly.

Gina's Crock Pot Shredded Beef {Machaca]

My family loves Shredded Beef, soft tacos, hard tacos, enchiladas, in taco salad or just over rice. This is my slow cooker recipe for shredded beef. You can reduce the peppers to make it less spicy.Submitted by: MRS4WHEELBOB

Crunchwrap Super-Supreme: SparkRecipes Un-Chained Recipe Contest Finalist

This recipe was a finalist in the SparkPeople Un-Chained Recipe Contest!

I chose to re-make the Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell because Taco Bell used to be one of my favorite fast food restaurants. Also, it is still my boyfriend's favorite fast food chain and nearly every time he goes there, he will order a crunchwrap supreme.

The funny thing is that most Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes are fairly simple to make... so I knew that it would be fun, delicious, and not too challenging to re-make this item!Submitted by: THENEXTJESS

I thought this was excellent. My 9 year old daughter loved it too. Hubby, of course, would rather it have flour tortillas in it, but I'm sure that would increase the calories, etc. Now to try and tweak it, and take some of the sodium out, etc. to make it more healthful. I'll make this again! - 11/1/09
