Layered Tortilla Pie Recipe

Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey or beef

1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained, optional
1 tablespoon butter
6 corn tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup water

Directions
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomato sauce, garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper and olives if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.
2. Lightly butter tortillas on one side; place one tortilla, buttered side down, in a 2-qt. round casserole. Top with about 1/2 cup meat mixture and 1/3 cup cheese. Repeat layers, ending with cheese.
3. Pour water around the sides of casserole (not over top). Cover and bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 4-6 servings.
