Taco Lasagna

-2 lbs. ground beef
-2 pkg. taco seasoning mix
-4 cloves pressed garlic
-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
-1 and 1/2 cups water
-1 tbsp. cornmeal
-2 pkg. corn tortillas (10-12 each)
-1 (24 oz.) jar salsa
-16 oz. sour cream mixed with 1 tbsp. chili powder
-3 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

In large saucepan, cook beef until brown and drain well. Add taco seasoning, garlic, cayenne pepper, and water. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Set aside. Sprinkle cornmeal in bottom of 9x13 pan. Place 6 tortillas in bottom of pan, overlapping and extending up edges slightly.

Layer in the following order:
-1 cup salsa
-1/2 meat mixture
-1 cup sour cream mixture
-2 cups combined cheeses
Repeat, starting again with 6 tortillas, salsa, meat, sour cream, and 2 cups of cheese. Place 6 tortillas and remaining salsa on top.

Cooking instructions: Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

**When I make this for my family, the 9x13 is nearly overflowing, so I gave each family 1/2 a recipe.

**I omitted the cayenne pepper.
