**Make Ahead**

You can assemble this
casserole up to 8 hours before
cooking. Refrigerate until
ready to bake.

**VARIATION**

For a touch of heat,
add 1 (4-ounce)
can of chopped
green chiles with
the seasoning mix
in step 1.

**1** Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook beef in a large
skillet over medium-high
heat, stirring until
browned and crumbly,
about 5 minutes. Drain.
Add seasoning mix;
mix well.

**2** Grease an 8-inch round
casserole; arrange half
of tortillas over bottom.
Layer with beef, 2 cups
Monterey Jack and onion.

**3** Arrange remaining
tortillas over onion.
Pour enchilada sauce over
tortillas. Bake until tortillas
are soft and juices bubble,
about 35 minutes.

**4** Layer remaining
cheese over tortillas.
Bake until cheese is
bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Top with green onions.

Make It Quicker

• Use preshredded
Monterey Jack cheese,
available in the
dairy section of the
supermarket, to save
both shredding and
cleanup time.
