/4 Cup Tomato paste  
Cup Peeled; seeded, chopped tomatoes  
Cup Beef stock  
0 Flour tortillas  
Cup Grated Medium Cheddar cheese  
Cup Grated Monterey Jack cheese  
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9− by 9− by 2−inch square baking  
dish. In a large skillet, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions  
and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and continue to cook for 3  
to 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the diced meat and continue to cook  
for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt  
and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste. Stir in the tomatoes and stock. Simmer  
the mixture for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and  
cool. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the chili mixture on the bottom of  
the prepared pan. Lay two tortillas on top of the chili mixture. Sprinkle  
the top of the tortillas with the Cheddar and Jack cheeses. Repeat the  
layering process until all of the chili, tortillas and cheese are used. (The  
final layer should be cheese.) Place the pan in the oven and bake until the  
cheese has melted, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool  
slightly before slicing. This recipe yields 6 servings.
