SAUCE INGREDIENTS                                   STACK INGREDIENTS
  1 1/2   lb ground chuck                 12-18     frozen corn meal tortillas
3-4       garlic cloves                       1 lb  grated cheese (mild longhorn)
 1 rounded tablespoon of chili powder       3-4 cup chopped lettuce
 2 cans pinto beans                         1/2 cup minced onion
 5 cups  water
DIRECTIONS
Brown meat with garlic.  Add chili, pinto beans, water.  Cook 30 minutes, add salt to taste.
Thaw 2 or 3 tortillas per person, depending on appetite.  Sautee each tortilla lightly in a small amount of oil (until the tortilla bubbles.)  The idea is to keep the tortilla fork-tender.  , heat in a small amount of oil in a skillet, keep warm in oven.
     After cooking the sauce, pour it on a stack of lightly sauteed corn tortillas separated by  cold lettuce, onions, and grated Colby cheese.  Some like this topped by an egg poached or "over easy".  Feeds six people.
