Tortilla Casserole

Again this recipe is from 1967 and I tweaked it a bit when I made it.

Tortilla Casserole
Mrs. Claude A. coffey

1 can ( 10 oz) Mexican style tomato sauce ( I used rotel tomatoes with chilies plus small can tomato sauce with basil , garlic)
1 can water
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 hard cooked egg, chopped ( I omitted this)
1 can ripe olives ( 4 1/2-oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tortilla
1/2 pound dry Monterey Jack cheese

Heat tomato sauce and water. Brown meat with onion and garlic. Add egg, salt and 1/2 cup sauce. In a casserole, layer tortillas, dipped first in sauce, meat mixture and cheese. Pour over remaining sauce. top with cheese. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
