Mexican Lasagna - all about the options!

mandatory:
1 lb ground beef
1 jar salsa
1 jar salsa con queso
1 pack 10 in flour tortillas
1 bag shredded cheese
USE BRANDS YOU PREFER for custom spiciness.

optional:
sour cream
can of whole kernel corn
guacamole
refried beans
olives
olive oil
jalapenos
can of "salsa roja"
lettuce & diced tomatoes

in a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. drain
add salsa and con queso. heat thoroughly.
in a baking dish (i use a round one...) layer beef mix, cheese, and tortillas. top with shredded cheese. bake @ 300 degrees till cheese is melted.

what i like to to in addition to the basic recipe:
lightly brown tortillas with olive oil in a skillet for a crisp texture.
mix corn in beef mixture.
layer guac & refried beans in addition to beef mix and cheese.
top with olives or peppers.
serve with sour cream & guacamole on lettuce & tomato side salad.
drizzle salsa roja over top & garnish plate.

the beef mix also makes a great dip for chips.
