Chiliquiles Suizas: 1 1/2 lb shredded cooked beef or ground beef oil or lard to brown meat 1 pint sour cream 2 onions, sliced or chopped 2 or 3 cloves garlic 1 pint peeled tomatoes, chopped coarsely 1 lb Jack cheese, shredded 3 oz mild cheddar, shredded salt and pepper 1/4 tsp each oregano and cumin 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed 6 to 8 old corn tortillas, sliced or torn into 2 inch pieces Brown meat in a fireproof pot or skillet with sliced onions, crushed garlic and spices. Layer this mix in a deep baking dish alternating with the other ingredients except the cheddar cheese. Bake 30 to 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven and top with cheddar cheese the last 10 minutes.
