1½ pounds lean ground beef
1 garlic clove
1 small onion
1½ picante salsa
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can tomato sauce
2 medium tomatoes, chopped and seeded
1 tablespoon lime juice
1½ teaspoon salt
12 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives

Brown meat, onion, and garlic, then drain off the grease. Add picante salsa, spinach, tomato sauce, tomatoes, lime juice, and salt. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Arrange 6 tortillas on bottom and sides of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with half of the meat mixture. Arrange the remaining 6 tortillas over, then spread sour cream evenly over tortillas.  Top with remaining meat mixture. This can be refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
