This is another one of those filling, homey concoctions like mom used to make. Different from your traditional lasagna, it is the tex-mex equivalent that is just as hearty and tasty and will leave everyone wanting seconds.
Ingredients You'll Need
6 Flour Soft Tortillas
1 1/2 Lbs. Ground Beef
Taco Seasoning Packet
1/2 Cup Favorite Salsa
1 Cup Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
Cheese Sauce:

4 Tbsp. Butter
2 Cups Shredded Colby Jack Cheese
Directions
In a small saucepan melt butter, add heavy cream and bring to a low boil and slowly add shredded cheese until melted.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a baking dish, add a layer of tortillas ( you may need to cut one in half to fit properly) Top with ground beef mixture. Layer with 1/2 Cup- 1 Cup of salsa and add 1/3 Cup of cheese sauce.
Repeat with each layer. Add final layer of tortillas and top with remaining cheese sauce and shredded cheese.
