Italian Tortilla Stacks - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 lbs ground beef
    1 (1 1/4 ounce) package spaghetti sauce mix
    1 teaspoon seasoning salt
    1 (1 lb) can tomatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
    1/2 cup water
    1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (seeds removed and then chopped or diced)
    8 -10 corn tortillas
    1 1/2 lbs monterey jack cheese, grated
    1 lb ricotta cheese
    2 eggs
Preparation
    Brown ground beef until crumbly.
    Drain fat.
    Add spaghetti sauce mix, seasoned salt, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water and green chilies; blend thoroughly.
    Simmer slowly 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, combine ricotta and eggs; blend well.
    Spread mixture evenly on tortilla.
    Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in 12x8x2-inch baking dish.
    Place two cheese topped tortillas side by side in the dish.
    Spread 1/3 cup of meat mixture and 1/3 cup grated cheese over each.
    (I actually make this a single layer by filling in the areas with tortillas cut in half).
    Repeat until each stack contains 3-4 layered with meat sauce and cheese.
    Bake in 350\u00b0F oven for 30 minutes.
    Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
