Ingredients
-
1 Pound Lean ground Beef 93% lean
1 medium White Onion Diced
3 Flour Tortillas
1 16 oz can of Fat Free Refried Beans
1 Can Diced Tomatoes with Onion and Bell Peppers (Drained)

12 oz Shredded Medium Cheddar Chesse
1 Bunch Green onions sliced
Non Stick Cooking spray I use the Olive oil type
Directions
Brown and drain ground beef or turkey with white onion in a skillet. Seasoned to taste.
In a sauce pan combine refried beans, mild Rotel (drained) and canned diced tomatoes with onions and green bell peppers (Drained) If Rotel and Tomatoes are not drained it makes the whole dish too wet.
In a deep round baking dish with a lid first spray the dish with Non-Stick cooking spray then Place 1 tortilla on the bottom of the dish then layer first:
Refried bean mix
Ground burger or other meat
Shredded cheese
green onions
Black Olives (Optional)
Repeat for a total of three totilla's
Cover with lid and bake for 20 to 25 min on 350 dgrees until cheese is melted and dish is heated through.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Let dish stand and cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving or it will just be too soft and come out a mess. If allowed to cool you can see all the layers like in a pie.

It is so awesome that you can your own tomatoes! Home canned ingredients add such a richness of flavor to reciepes that can't be beat.
Rotel is basically spiced Tomatoes that have chillis in it and is rated by degree of hotness as in mild, medium and hot.Thank you for your comments. Very Appreciate
