Tortilla Pie

Ingredients

• 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt
• 1 pound extra-lean (90 percent fat-free) ground beef
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup green salsa
• 6 ounces grated pepper Jack

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Place a skillet over high heat. Mist tortillas with cooking spray and toast in skillet, turning once, until golden, 1 minute.
2. Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, spices and salt; cook for 1 minute. Add beef and sauté, breaking into small pieces, until cooked, 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, reduce heat and simmer until most of liquid has evaporated, 7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Place a tortilla on a baking sheet misted with cooking spray. Spread with one-third each of beef mixture, salsa and cheese. Repeat with 2 more layers of tortillas, beef, salsa and cheese. Top with remaining tortilla; press to adhere. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
