MEXICAN SPICY BEEF TORTILLA
From South American Food and Cooking. This is a lasagna-like combo that is quite flexible to suit your family's preferences. Instead of 12 oz of meat, I used some already cooked beef cubes I had in the freezer and added a can of pinto beans and some corn. Chicken or ground beef would work as well.

Steps:
- preheat oven to 350.
- make the salsa picante:.
- place tomatoes, garlic, onion and chiles in a blender and process till smooth. (I just chopped everything and didn't run through a processor).
- pour into a small pan and add spices and oregano and season with salt.
- bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. boil for 1-2 minutes, then lower heat and simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
- the sauce should be thick, but of pouring consistency.
- if it is too thick, dilute with a little fresh tomato juice or water.
- make the cheese sauce:.
- melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour. cook, stirring, one minute.
- add the milk, stirring all the time, till sauce boils and thickens.
- stir in all but 2 T of cheese and season to taste.
- cover the pan with a lid and set aside.
- mix onion, garlic and chili in a bowl. add the steak cubes and mix well.
- heat the oil in a frying pan and stir fry the meat mixture for about 10 minutes, till meat cubes have browned and the onion is soft.
- stir in the rice (and corn and/or beans if desired) and enough beef stock to moisten.
- season to taste with salt and pepper.
- pour about a quarter of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a round, ovenproof dish (will need about a 2-qt sized dish - I tried a deep pie plate it wasn't big enough).
- add a tortilla and then spread over half the salsa, followed by half the meat mixture.
- repeat these layers, then add half the remaining cheese sauce and the final tortilla.
- pour over the remaining cheese sauce and sprinkle the reserved grated cheddar on top.
- bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or till golden on top and heated through.
