TIJUANA TORTE 
1 lb. ground chuck
1 pkg. (12) flour tortillas
1 med. onion (chopped)
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (4 oz.) can green chilies (chopped)
1 pkg. taco mix
1 lb. can stewed tomatoes
2 c. taco cheese or Cheddar (shredded)
1 c. sour cream (optional)

Brown meat with onion. Add tomato sauce, taco mix, stewed tomatoes, chilies. Let simmer together for 10 to 15 minutes.

Use a 9x13 baking dish. Put approximately 1/4 cup of meat mixture (just to coat-on bottom of pan). Using 4 tortilla shells per layer (you may cut in half to allow for better layering), layer tortillas, then 1/3 of meat mixture, then shredded cheese, then sour cream dabs if you are using (sour cream only between bottom 2 layers, not on top). Repeat tortillas, meat, cheese, sour cream - end with shredded cheese on top. (We like cheese, so I also use shredded Mozzarella along with the taco and Cheddar.)

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Let set in oven a while before serving. Serve with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes and taco sauce.
