Steps:
- 1. Crumble and saute meat with onion and garlic till browned in a cast iron skillet (or equivalent) Add the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions
- 2. Add tomato paste, water, chilies, olives and salt -- simmer till bubbly
- 3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, add the cottage cheese and set aside
- 4. LAYER in 9x14 baking dish: 1/3 meat, 1/2 of jack cheese, 1/2 cottage cheese, 1/2 tortillas REPEAT: ending with meat on top
- 5. Sprinkle top with cheddar cheese and Spanish olives
- 6. Bake 350, about 20-25 minutes -- till cheese is melted on top and casserole is heated through (will be a little bubbly)
- 7. Use the sour cream as a garnish when serving. Serve with fresh green salad to complete the meal.
- 8. NOTE: I often use a 15 oz can of tomato sauce rather than the tomato paste and water because it speeds things up and tastes just as good.

[email protected]This casserole is a great freezer meal. I made a double batch and froze half of it. When I was ready to eat it, I just thawed it overnight in the refrigerator and baked it. It was just as good as the first time I made it.
