    List of Ingredients




    Makes 12 servings
    Ingredients:

    2 cups canned red chili sauce
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    4 cups low-sodium tomato puree
    1 1/2 teaspoons mild or hot chili powder
    15 ounces lean ground beef (10% or less fat)
    1/4 cup dehydrated onion flakes
    Twelve 6" corn tortillas, quartered
    4 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    40 small or 24 large black olives, pitted and chopped

    To prepare sauce, in medium saucepan, stir 1/4 cup of the chili sauce and the
    flour until flour is dissolved. Gradually stir in remaining chili sauce, tomato puree
    and chili powder. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring
    occasionally; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
    Remove from heat; let cool. Meanwhile, place large nonstick skillet over
    medium-high heat; add beef. Cook, stirring to break up meat, 4-5 minutes,
    until beef is no longer pink; stir in onion flakes. Remove from heat; set aside.
    Preheat oven to 375oF. Spray 13 x 9" casserole with nonstick cooking spray.
    Spread 1/2 cup of the cooled sauce over bottom of prepared casserole.
    Dip 12 tortilla quarters into remaining sauce; arrange evenly in casserole.
    Sprinkle evenly with one third of the beef mixture, one fourth of the cheese
    and one fourth of the olives. Top evenly with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Repeat
    layers 2 more times. Dip remaining 12 tortilla quarters into remaining sauce;
    arrange over sauce in casserole. Top evenly with remaining cheese, olives and sauce.
    Bake, covered, 35 minutes. Uncover; bake 25-30 minutes longer. Let stand 5 minutes.
