Easy and Mild and good left over the next day.

Brown, crumble and drain the ground beef and set aside.

Put the red sauce and tomato sauce in a pot and heat. Stir to mix.

Put a little butter in a skillet and warm several corn tortillas, both sides.

Drip each tortilla in the warm sauce and layer in a casserole dish, then meat, onions, beans (I use bean and bacon soup, no water added or kidney beans) cheese, olives, chilies, another layer of sauce dipped tortillas. Layer meat, cheese, etc, ending with top layer of tortillas, spread some warm sauce on top then, add cheese.
