Mexican Lasagna

This is a Shawna original recipe. Hope you like it. You can make certain variations like red sauce/salsa instead of green, shredded beef instead of hamburger and so on.

1.5 lb ground beef
 1 large yellow onion
1 can of pinto beans
cayenne pepper
ground cumin
salt/pepper
season salt
paprika
1 can green enchilada sauce
salsa verde
3 cups of cheddar cheese
flour tortillas
1 package of spanish rice
olives or sliced green onions to top

1. preheat oven to 375
2. brown the ground beef and onions and add the spices till you get the desired flavor in the meat.in a seperate pan make the rice, then microwave the beans until they are warm, drain the beans add it to the finished rice.
3. get a 9x13 glass cake pan and use part of the enchilada sauce to layer the bottom of dish, then lay a tortilla into the pan, and layer with a little more sauce and salsa, then the meat mixture, then the rice/bean mixture, then some cheese. Repeat with one more layer, then before you put it in the oven, cut a tortilla into strips, and make a pretty little pie type pattern on top, use the remaining enchilada sauce, and top with cheese and olives or green onions.
4. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
