"Leftover Roast" Mexican Casserole - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 -2 cup cooked beef or 1 -2 cup pork roast, shredded
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 onion, diced
    1 green pepper, diced
    1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon garlic salt
    2 cups chicken broth
    9 corn tortillas
    2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
Preparation
    Shred cooked meat and remove any bones or fat.
    Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion and pepper and saute until tender.
    Add all ingredients except corn tortillas and cheese. Stir together.
    Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and boil for one hour, allowing most of the liquid to cook off. Watch and reduce heat if necessary.
    Preheat oven to 350.
    Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
    Place 3 corn tortillas in the bottom of the pan, tearing to fit.
    Spoon 1/3 of the meat mixture over the tortillas. Spread to cover.
    Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese.
    Repeat steps 7-9 two times.
    Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
    **Can also be refrigerated in the morning and baked later that day. I haven't tried to freeze it yet.
