This recipe is definitely a family favorite! More often than not it is requested when we are all together. The best part is it is so easy and typically inexpensive and easy to adjust for larger or smaller portions.
Ingredients:
1 lb of ground beef, venison, or turkey
1/2 onion
28 oz. Red Chile sauce
24 oz. Jar of chunky salsa
Shredded cheese
Corn tortillas
Black beans(optional, and can be used solely for meat substitute)

Instructions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop onion, saute in skillet. Brown the beef.
2.Heat salsa, red Chile sauce and black beans in medium-large sauce pan. After beef is brown and ground, mix in with the sauce. It will be like a stew or soup consistency.
3. Place 6-8 tortillas in bottom of a 13 x 9 pan(I use pyrex glass pans which you can order here), something like this:
4. Using a ladle, scoop sauce mixture over tortillas about 3-4 times distributing the mixture evenly. Sprinkle cheese over the mixture. layer another layer of tortillas and repeat until you reach the top of the pan. I usually get about 3 layers. The last layer I top with cheese and cover completely. 
5. Place pan on cookie sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or until cheese and sauce bubble. ENJOY!

NOTE:
This is a great make ahead recipe. Can be frozen or refrigerated well.
