Ingredients
  

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 30 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 1 chopped yellow onion
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 fried eggs optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the ground beef in a skillet, adding salt and black pepper and breaking up the chunks with a wooden spoon.
  • Remove from the heat once no pink remains.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the enchilada sauce until it bubbles, then take it off the heat.
  • Dip a corn tortilla in the sauce then put it on an oven-safe dinner plate.
  • Add some of the beef, cheese and onion.
  • Repeat twice more so you end up with a stack of 3 tortillas with fillings in between. Have cheese as the final layer.
  • Repeat until you have 4 x stacks of 3 tortillas with fillings, and then bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Meanwhile, fry some eggs if you want those on top.
  • Enjoy!
