    Layers of seasoned beef in a red enchilada sauce, corn tostadas and melted Monterry Jack cheese are what this dish is all about!  Who needs to hand roll an enchilada when this easy to make casserole is all you need to kick up your heels and have your own fiesta.

    This dish is another one my Mamaw used to throw together when all of us would get together for a little eating, a little chips and dips and a little visiting.  It was also a regular on her Friday night card playing menu.  Lots of mean games of Phase 10 or Hand & Foot were played to the tune of these beefy layered enchiladas.

    It still shows up on my family’s table whenever we need a fun dish to round out a little chips and salsa or 7 layer dip on a weekend night! The rich sauce and beefy layers are the perfect pair when you’re wanting to have a little fiesta of your own.

    Serve it with a happy dollop of sour cream, a little shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and jalapenos.  Cilantro is even good!  Of course, it is best served with a side of your closest family and friends.  Card playing is optional.

      Wondering the difference between tostadas and corn tortillas? Thanks

        Hi, Carol! Tortillas are soft and tostadas are crispy. Specifically, a tostada is a flat tortilla that has been fried or toasted. Hope that helps!

      Love this recipe. I’ve also commented when it popped up on your Facebook page. I’ve always used small corn tortillas as I couldn’t find tostadas initially. Great versatility as you control the heat with type of chilies/jalapeños and enchilada sauce for those who don’t like spicy. I usually half the recipe when just us two as well. The toppings take it over the top, we love fresh cilantro, tomatoes and black olives in particular with a side of chips and salsa. I’ve passed on your recipe to several people now. So simple and delicious.
