SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER LASAGNA 
1 lb. ground beef, browned
4 (7 inch) flour tortillas
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 pkg. taco mix
1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 (8 oz.) guacamole dip
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 c. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Fry tortillas, one at a time, in 1/4 inch hot oil (375 degrees) about 5 seconds on each side or just until softened. Drain well on paper towels; set aside.

Combine tomato sauce and taco mix in saucepan; bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add beef and 1/2 green chilies to remaining sauce mixture.

Place a tortilla and 1/2 meat mixture in a greased 8-9 inch cakepan. Layer with a tortilla, guacamole dip, 1/2 cup cheese, and green chilies. Top with a tortilla, remaining meat sauce, remaining tortilla, and 1/4 cup reserved sauce.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, and bake 5 more minutes or until cheese melts.
