Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (90% lean)

1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce

1 cup salsa

6 flour tortillas (10 inch)

2 cups fresh or frozen corn

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Optional: Diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and sour cream

Instructions

1 Prepare the meat mixture

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles. Drain the excess grease, then stir in the enchilada sauce and salsa.

3 Layer the meat mixture, corn and cheese

4 Place two tortillas (overlapping as necessary) in the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Cover them with one-third of the meat mixture. Top with 1 cup corn and 1-1/3 cups cheese.

5 Repeat the layers once, then finish with the remaining tortillas, meat and cheese.

6 Bake the enchilada casserole

7 Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until bubbly. If desired, garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and sour cream.
