Ingredients

Cost per serving $1.44 view details
  • 1 lb lean ground beef I used about a pound and a half
  • 1 c. onion, chopped
  • 1/2 c. green bell pepper, chopped
  • 16 oz can pinto or kidney beans, rinsed & drained I used pinto b/c that's what I had
  • 10 oz can diced tomatoes and green chilies I used a 14 oz can
  • 1 c water
  • 1 tsp chili pwd
  • 16 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • dash of dried red pepper flakes and/or several drops Tabasco sauce, if you like
  • 1 c. shredded low fat sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 c shredded low fat Monterey Jack cheese I used Motzerella & mild Cheddar
  • 6 flour tortillas 6 or 7 inches

Directions

  1. 1. In a nonstick skillet, brown beef, onions, and green pepper. I started with a skillet, but ended up having to switch to a big pot like what I'd boil spaghetti noodles in. I'd start with a bigger pot so you don't have to dirty two pots.
  2. 2. Add remaining ingredients, except cheeses and tortillas. Bring to a boil.
  3. 3. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. 4. Combine cheeses in a bowl.
  5. 5. In a slow cooker, layer about 3/4 c. beef mixture, one tortilla, and about 1/4 c. cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. I didn't measure beef, etc. I put enough beef to cover the bottom and then put a tortilla on top. It didn't cover all the meat, so I put a second tortilla on and there was a little overlap. I continued to layer. However, on the other layers, I only did 1 tortilla and centered it. On the last layer (the top) I did use 2 tortillas with an overlap again. I finished with the double tortilla and a good amount of cheese.
  6. 6. Cover. Cook on low 5-7 hours.
