Stir and cook for 1 minute and add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes on low. After 5 minutes sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

If not available move on to the assembly. - In the prepared baking dish add 12 cup of the meat mixture and spread it over the dish. Add 6 tortilla shells slightly overlapping and covering the bottom of the baking dish. Add half of the meat mixture and spread evenly. Then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
