1 package Large tortillas 

Brown beef in a slight amount of vegetable oil with chopped onion, salt and pepper.

When browned add chili powder, cumin and paprika and flour. Stir well.

Add sauce and water. Depending on thickness you may have to add a little more water. Cook until all is heated through.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl add softened cream cheese and sour cream.  Mix until blended.  I use a large spoon.

Spray bottom of 13” x 9” baking dish

Place several (2) tortillas cut in pieces on bottom.

Add taco meat, then another layer ,cheese sour cream mixture.  In dollops. Tablespoons then another layer of tortillas and repeat.  Top with remaining sauce and cheddar cheese.
