Mexican lasagna

I made one for the first time. Turned out pretty good, but then it's all the basic Tex Mex ingredients, just assembled a little differently.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon coriander
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 oz can diced green chiles
14 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
4 oz can of black olives
14 oz can corn, drained
14 oz can chili beans
10 oz can red enchilada sauce
8-12 tortillas, 8-inch size
16 oz shredded cheese
Steps
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, for 4-5 minutes. Add salt and pepper as needed.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and coriander until the meat is thoroughly coated.
Remove the beef from pan. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the green chiles, diced tomatoes, beans, and corn and stir to mix together. Simmer for five to 10 minutes.
Coat a deep, 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.
Cut the tortillas in half, and layer tortilla halves to fit in the dish.
Layer enchilada sauce, cheese, veggie mixture, and meat mixture.
Repeat the layers, ending with layers of tortillas, enchilada sauce, and the remaining cheese.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with cilantro. Add any desired toppings, then serve.
Notes
If you make ahead of time and refrigerate, add 15 minutes to the cooking time.
You can cook everything (except the tortillas) ahead of time, then assemble the next day.
A teaspoon of chipotles in the ground beef, veggie mix or both, doesn't hurt.
You can use corn or flour tortillas. Fry the tortillas first, if possible, to keep them a little crispy.
Serve with crema or sour cream, avocado, pico de gallo, and salsa.

I've done this before. It's sort of like making enchiladas but instead of rolling them, you just put layers of tortillas across the casserole dish. It's always a winner.

I usually do something similar with leftover pork butt. Easy and damn good.

Yeah, my buddy called it a deep dish burrito. You can do different things with the salsa part, but this time I just used fire roasted tomatoes as a base.

after trying this I was tempted to make my own
