Food Network Kitchens nicknamed this the "broken enchilada" casserole because the soft layer of cooked tortilla chips on the bottom reminded us of enchiladas. But this dish is much easier to make!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef and sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes more. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. (This beef-and-bean mixture can be made up to a day ahead of time.)
- Lay half the tortilla chips on the bottom of the oiled casserole dish. Spread half the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle half the cheese blend over the meat. Repeat with the remaining chips, meat and cheese. Bake uncovered until the cheese melts and the casserole is hot, about 20 minutes.
- Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, avocado and pickled jalapenos if desired. Serve with more salsa and tortilla chips on the side.

REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Very yummy! I grew up making these with my mom and sisters, and everyone I knew loved them! They're easy to make and incredibly tempting! Add chicken or cilantro if you like. I suggest pairing it with easy-to-make boxed Mexican rice.

BEAN-AND-BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I expanded slightly on a recipe in BH&G Make-Ahead Cooking (more ground beef, more cheese, added salt and pepper). We all really enjoyed this. I think it would also be good with chicken. Note: The original recipe didn't indicate the measurements of the baking dish--I would recommend something smaller than 9x12 with higher sides like a lasagna pan.

BEEF AND BEAN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I love how easy this comes together--no worrying if the tortillas are folded just right (you don't even need to fold them). I substituted plain yogurt for sour cream and kidney beans for the pinto beans, and I still loved this. You can also make this ahead of time (make-ahead directions are below).

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans in your enchilada casserole. This will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can also try using queso fresco, pepper Jack, or goat cheese.
- Make sure to season your beef well. This will help to give your casserole a rich, flavorful taste. Some good seasonings to use include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought enchilada sauce. However, if you have the time, it's definitely worth making your own. It's easy to do and tastes much better.
- Be sure to cook your casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will help to ensure that your casserole is cooked through and that the cheese is evenly distributed.
