In a saucepan, brown the meat and drain away all liquids. Return meat to saucepan, add crushed garlic and cook until well-blended into meat. Cover and leave aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 F, then lightly butter a square 2-quart casserole dish. Cut corn tortillas into quarters. Mix cheddar cheese, green onions and cilantro.

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked meat and sauce, mix well. Layer casserole dish with tortillas, then add meat/sauce mixture. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese/ green onion/cilantro mixture. Then add another layer of tortillas and repeat, ending with meat mixture. Sprinkle the entire casserole with jack cheese and any leftover cheddar cheese. Bake for 35/40 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. (Serves 6 to 8)
