Mexican Tortilla Stack



I was looking for a Mexican casserole dish for my husband, but I wanted to make something a little different. When I found this recipe on life-as-a-lofthouse.blogspot.com, I knew this recipe would fit the bill. My husband loves this dish and always eats it for leftovers the next day. It comes together pretty quick, so you won't have to spend too much time preparing this recipe. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my husband does.
