Brown ground beef, onion, garlic, pack of taco seasoning 1/2 cup water, 1 can mild enchilada sauce simmer on low till liquid is absorbed.

In a baking dish, spray with nonstick spray, layer the bottom of the pan with corn tortillas, overlapping. Add a layer of the meat sauce, a layer of shredded monetary jack cheese, pour (from the can) mild enchilada sauce over the layer.

Continue layering, ending up with a layer of corn tortilla on the top. cover the top enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 in oven for about 30 minutes or until hot through out and cheese is melted.

1 onion, chopped
1 can beef broth (or 2 cups water + 2 beef boullion cubes)
1 can whole kernel corn, undrained (I like the mix of white and yellow corn)
2 cans diced tomatoes, any variety, undrained (I like petite diced, w/ onions and bellpeppers in them; if you want heat, use at least one can of Rotel)

diced green onions
sliced black olives
sliced jalapenos

Return to heat and add remaining indredients. Cover and let simmer at least 30 minutes, or up to about 3 hours. (Can be held longer in a slow cooker set on Low.)

Serve in bowls w/ crushed corn chips in the bottom. Top each bowl w/ garnish of choice.
