Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a large baking dish. Place flour tortillas on the base of the dish to cover. Spread a layer of the beef mixture over tortillas. Drizzle or spread a portion of the creamy sauce on top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Repeat layering until all fillings are used, finishing with tortillas on top.
