- Stir in the salt & pepper.
- Bring it to a gentle boil and the mixture will thicken to a nice gravy.

- In a greased 9×13 baking dish, spread about ⅓ of a cup of the mixture over the bottom, then layer half of the tortilla strips.
- Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas.
- Sprinkle with a cup or so of shredded colby-jack or cheddar cheese.
- Top it with the other half of the tortillas.
- Spread the remaining meat mixture over that and then sprinkle with another cup of cheese. Ready for the oven!
- Bake it at 375 for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden around the edges.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
