Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2.	In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned and onion is translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3.	In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and diced tomatoes with green chilies (ROTEL).
4.	Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange 6 of the flour tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom. Top with half of the beef mixture, spreading it evenly over the tortillas. Drizzle with half of the Velveeta cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, beef, and cheese.
5.	Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through.
6.	Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7.	Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
