(Sorry, folks, no photo this week. I'll post one as soon as I can.)
This is another of my husband's favorite dishes. I found the original recipe in an old issue of Cooking Light magazine a few months ago and modified it, eliminating ingredients my husband wouldn't like and bumping up the quantity of the ingredients he DOES like to keep the dish filling. (In short, I doubt that the recipe as I make it would qualify as "light.")

Enchilada Casserole
1 pound ground beef
1 package of taco seasoning
2 (15 ounce) cans of black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups of shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brown the beef in a large skillet. Add taco seasoning according to package instructions.
Stir in beans.
Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with no-stick spray. Arrange two tortillas on the bottom of the dish to cover the bottom as much as possible.
Cover the tortillas with 1/2 of the ground beef/bean mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese on top of the beef/beans.
Arrange two tortillas on top of the cheese, then top with the rest of the beef/bean mixture and the rest of the cheese.
Cover dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until all cheese is melted.
Cut into eight pieces.
Reheating
Cook for 4 minutes in the microwave.
How is it as a frozen dinner?
Very good, but not when you forget to cover it when baking. The first time I made this dish, I skipped over that step, and as a result, the tortillas were very dry and hard to chew after reheating.
