Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef

8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce

1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
1 small (1/2 cup) tomato, chopped

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with no-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Cook ground beef, onion and garlic in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned (5 to 7 minutes); drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix; set aside.
3. To assemble, place 1 tortilla on 12-inch pizza pan; spread with about 2 1/2 tablespoons enchilada sauce, leaving 1-inch around edge of tortilla. Repeat with second tortilla and sauce. Top with half the beef mixture and 1 cup cheese. Place 1 tortilla on top; spread with sauce. Top with 1 tortilla spread with refried beans and chiles. Repeat layers of 2 more tortillas and sauce; top with remaining beef mixture and 1 cup cheese. Place last 2 tortillas and remaining sauce over beef, ending with sauce.
