Print
If you're in the mood for a little Tex-Mex, but you're tired of the same old thing, try these simple enchilada stacks.  They're fun and flavorful, and best of all, they're ready in under an hour.

Instructions

Cook the beef, onion and black pepper in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Remove the beef from the skillet.Add the chile powder and flour to the pan drippings in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in the water. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove the skillet from the heat.Place 1 tortilla into the skillet and turn to coat. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Place 1 dipped tortilla onto each of 4 plates. Top each with about 1/4 cup beef mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat the layers twice, making 4 (3-layer) stacks. Sprinkle the stacks with the lettuce, tomato and remaining cheese. Serve with Pace® Chunky Salsa.
