Here's one that's pretty quick and easy and always has the kids going back for seconds. It's like lasagna only with Mexican ingredients!
It also does pretty well as a left over (that's assuming you have any left).
Here's whatcha need:
1-2 lbs ground beef (I like the 80/20 myself)
1-2 packages of taco seasoning (depending on how much meat you use)
1 jar of your favorite salsa
6-12 inch flour tortillas
1-16 oz bag of your preferred shredded cheese
1 white or yellow onion, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 glass casserole dish with cooking spray. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and then drain the fat. Add taco mix and water according to the directions on the packet. I actually mix my own taco seasoning out of my spice cabinet which you might find elsewhere on this blog...can't recall if I've posted that or not. Either way you prefer will work.
Next mix half of your jar of salsa with the ground beef. Set the rest aside.
In your casserole, lay three tortillas in the bottom to cover, overlapping them. Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then half the bag of cheese, and then half of the sliced onions. Place three more tortillas for the next layer, then the rest of the meat mixture, and then the rest of the cheese, salsa, and onion.
Bake for for 30 minutes and then garnish with shredded lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
And of course, as with any Mexican dish, you gotta have the hot sauce!
Buen Provecho!!
