CHEESE AND BEAN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
This evolved from the 'zaar recipe recipe #58503 and is a family favorite. It comes together quickly, you don't have to fry the tortillas, and it tastes great. It also has less saturated fat than most enchilada recipes.

Steps:
- Combine the flour and oil in 2 quart saucepan and stir til smooth.
- Mix the tomato paste with the water and gradually add to the flour/oil mixture stirring until smooth.
- Add garlic, onion, salt, oregano, and red chile to the sauce.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- While sauce is heating, grate the cheese and drain the can of beans.
- When sauce has boiled and thickened a bit, remove from heat.
- Put a thin layer of sauce, just enough to cover, in the bottom of a 9X12 baking pan. (I use a glass pan).
- Put a layer of 6 tortillas on top of the sauce layer; they will overlap some.
- Spread beans in an even layer on top of the tortilla layer.
- Spread cottage cheese on top of bean layer.
- Sprinkle approx 3/4 of the grated cheese over the cottage cheese.
- Spread 1/2 of the remaining sauce over this.
- Put a second layer of 6 tortillas on top.
- Top with remaining sauce, the rest of the grated cheese, and the sliced olives.
- Bake in 350 degree oven until hot and bubbly, 20 - 30 minutes.
- Serve with sour cream if desired.
