HELPFUL TIPS AFTER READING ALL THE REVIEWS: I've made this for several years now & have learned a few things that have made this a 5* thanks to several reviewers. Half the MEAT but used 3/4th a can of the olives, tomatoes, and entire can of chiles. Eyeball the salsa (use enough to coat the meat). Don't be afraid to layer this with 2-3 tortillas starting at the SECOND layer b/c it makes it taste just perfect (like taco bell mexican pizza)! I sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef while it's cooking (awesome flavoring). Also, know that you'll eat more than your normal portion b/c this is so dang good! It helps tremendously to let it simmer as long as it says because the ingred. start to stick together for a nicer consistency. Apply a THIN layer of refried beans on the bottom of each new tortilla, THIN layer of meat, and buy extra cheese b/c you tend to use a lot to layer perfectly! Lastly, this made 3 thin layers of meat, cheese, refried beans w/just the right amount to add the last amount of meat on top and have enough refried beans to serve as a side (b/c you only use 1/4th of it). If you make the full amount, it freezes well, so you can use it for a quick meal! Update: I cook until edges of tortilla are not soft.
