Taco Casserole
Taco Casserole
If you need a different twist on your normal “Taco Tuesday”, this is the perfect recipe! Its similar to a taco lasagna since it is layered with tortillas, ground beef and cheese. It’s easy to make and can feed a lot of people. Whenever I made this dish, I had enough to feed my family and the neighbors lol and everyone loved it! You can get creative with this dish and make it your own. I used ground beef but feel free to use ground turkey. Fully cook 2 lbs of ground beef.
Drain any excess grease from the ground beef and add 1/2 diced onion. Cook until the onions are soft.
Add 1 pack of taco seasoning and stir.
Add 1 14 0z can of diced tomatoes, 1 4 oz can of diced green chiles and 1 15 oz can of black beans and stir. Add 1/2 cup of water to the mixture and stir again.
Stir and cover with a lid and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir again. Set aside. Spray a casserole dish with cook spray and line the casserole dish with flour tortillas.
Layer with shredded cheddar cheese, the ground beef mixture and more cheese. Repeat the layers until all of the beef mixture is used.
Top the last layer with cheese and cover the dish with foil. Add to 375 degree oven and cook for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and remove the foil and put back in the oven. Cook for another 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and slice.
Top with sour cream and cilantro for a garnish. Serve and ENJOY!
