Pot-Chiladas
Morgan Somers

1 lb. Lean ground beef

1 can crushed tomatoes

1 small can green chilis

1 can pinto beans

1 can kidney beans

1 onion, diced

grated cheddar

1 small can enchilada sauce

corn tortillas

Brown meat and onions in butter. Add tomatoes, beans and chilis. In a crock-pot, layer meat mixture, the tortillas, then cheese and dribble enchilada sauce over cheese layer. Repeat layers. Cook on low for at lease 2 hours. Serve with sour cream.

Note: I use any two cans of beans I have on hand and I omit meat or onions if I don't have them. I usually do three layers and I use 5 tortillas per layer. I also sometimes cut up the tortillas and mix EVERYTHING together and cook it that way--no layering when I'm in a hurry.
