Layered Fiesta Bake

This is another recipe that I've been meaning to share with you for a while.  It's really easy to put together and a great way to re-purpose leftover beans, rice and Mexican shredded beef.  If you are a really detailed person and like exact measurements, I'm sorry!  But once you try it, you'll be glad you did!

Disclaimer:  This dish is faaaarrrrr yummier than the picture might indicate.  Just sayin'.
