  4. Add 2/3rd’s of your fresh mozzarella to the baking dish, sprinkle the rice on top then layer the tortilla strips over it.
  5. Add the rest of your beef mixture and spread so it covers the strips. Top with the rest of your cheese and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  6. Prepare your serving ingredients, remove the enchilada bake.
  7. Spread soured cream down the centre of the bake, crunch up your tortilla chips and sprinkle them over them add lime wedges and fresh coriander.
  8. You can always add fresh red onion and tomatoes too if you have them. Add the gravestones and serve.
