Ingredients

8 servings
Onion1 medium
Garlic3 cloves
Beans2 cans (15 oz each)
Salsa1.5 cups
Cheddar cheese2.5 cups shredded
Sour cream0.5 cup

Method

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans.

2

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

3

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic; cook 2 minutes until softened. Add the taco seasoning, beans, and salsa; simmer 5 minutes until flavors blend.

4

Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 4–5 tortillas to cover the bottom, overlapping as needed.

5

Spread half of the remaining meat mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the filling. Layer remaining tortillas, then remaining meat mixture, then top with remaining cheese.

6

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7

Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve hot with sour cream, additional salsa, or other toppings on the side.
