Crispy corn tortilla strips layered with seasoned ground beef, Anaheim chiles, pinto beans, red sauce, and melted cheddar. This Tex-Mex casserole feeds eight and bakes in 30 minutes.

This recipe worked very well with wild canadian goose. The stew was full of flavor and the meat was very tender. I will definatly use it again!
