A cousin first introduced me to this rich casserole. The flavor is a cross between a taco and burrito. I like to serve it with a tossed salad and French bread.—Joyce Ericksen, Turlock, California
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons vinegar
12 corn tortillas (6 inches)
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded process cheese (velveeta)
