I keep forgetting to post this:

For the tortilla stack:
1 pound ground beef
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can mild rotel
1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
4 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 (10-inch) tortillas
1 1/3 cups pepper jack cheese, shredded

Optional toppings:
lettuce, to taste, shredded
red onion, to taste, chopped
sour cream, to taste
tomatoes, to taste, chopped
ground coriander, to taste

Directions
Step 1 -Coat a large, deep skillet with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2 -In a separate large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, while crumbling, until the beef is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3 -Drain the grease from the skillet and return the beef to the skillet.

Step 4 -Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 5 -Add the garlic, the baked beans, the stewed tomatoes and their juices, the whole kernel corn, the green chiles and their juices, the barbeque sauce, the chili powder, and the cumin to the cooked beef and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Step 6 -Reduce the heat to low.

Step 7 -Let the mixture simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 7.5 - Divide the mixture in half at this point, freeze half.

Step 8 - In the bottom of the prepared deep skillet, add 1 of the tortillas.

Step 9 -Spread 1 1/2 cups of the ground beef mixture evenly over the tortilla in the skillet.

Step 10 -Evenly sprinkle 1/3 cup of the pepper jack cheese over the beef layer.

Step 11 -Repeat the layers 3 times, starting and ending with one of the tortillas.

Step 12 -Cover the skillet with the tortilla stack in it and cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are heated through, about 15 minutes.

Step 13 -Cut the tortilla stack into serving-sized wedges.

Step 14 -Serve with your favorite toppings.
